Letter Press Printing Is Where I Got My Start In Media

When I was attending high school in Pacific Palisades I was able to take some really cool classes that I am not sure are still offered. I had metal shop, wood shop, photo shop and graphic arts. In my graphics arts class we had several letter press printing machines, linotype machines and tons of metal fonts. I learned how to set type and adjust type with pica’s.   I was totally in love with printing punk rock flyers on the letter press machines in high school. Why am writing about this now? Well I spotted this video and was inspired to share.
