[video description: recording of feeding letterpress-printed cards into a clamshell-action press. The press opens and closes on a hinge, and every time it opens one card is removed by hand from the registration pins, and another is positioned in its place. when a sheet has been misfed in any way, rather than pulling the sheet back out of the press, there’s a lever to throw off impression. When the lever is thrown the press still closes but the relief image no longer touches the sheet. End description.]
somebody asked a while ago about what happens when i fuck up a feed and it happens all the time, usually because slipsheets are being annoying, i just don’t usually post them. for ego reasons. it’s silly, an accidental double-ink isn’t even a blown sheet or anything. anyway! that’s the impression lever up at the top, just inside the flywheel. it does a really really cool but simple thing down in the depths that shifts the whole bed—the right hand half of the hinge motion—back just a bit, away from impressing the sheet.
secondarily: usually i just do double hits in one run, but it’s really a bit better to do a pass, let it dry some to seal the sheet, and feed it again. if i can fit it into the schedule and keep the ink alive it’s slightly more opaque.

The red parts of his outfit have been printed from letterpress decorative pieces, and now the print is on a light table over a digital mockup of the lineart. This clip shows the inking of his…dog-skull pauldron thing. end description.]
the amount of affection i have for every single skull face in this game ❤️

The press opens and closes on a hinge, and every other opening one card removed by hand from the registration pins, and another is positioned in its place. The sheet is left in the pins for another rotation to impress each sheet twice, and put down a thicker layer of ink. End description.]
double hit for shinier silver shine ✨
