Thanks to highonbricks for printing these!
Note: VERY limited quantities of these were produced. Once we run out, they're gone forever.
used to buy my letterhead there, back in '86. after i got a laser printer in '90, i had to upgrade to more expensive letterhead to keep it from smearing. then i found the laser printer made its own letterhead pretty well. the stacks of orders waiting pickup in the window dwindled over time and the other day the place was cleaned out. technology takes no prisoners

This is my entry for the Rebrick "Modular Buildings Anniversary Contest".
Check it out here ;)
"LEGO has included many printed tiles&decorations in their sets in the past. These tiles represent money, pictures, newspapers, etc. But where do they come from? Of course, from the printing office. There isn't a single printing office in LEGO City or in the Modular Buildings line, so I've decided to build one. There is a printing machine, drawer, table, and some shelves in it. I've included it in the first floor of the Brick Bank, because there is a huge open space which I think is too empty."
The Kutch/Kachchh area of Gujarat is not heavily-frequented by foreign tourists, although popular as a handicraft-shopping destination with Indian tourists. Each village tends to specialize in a type of craft, with Ajrakhpur especially known for detailed block-printing. It's not the kind of place that offers courses on how to produce beautiful crafts yourself.
So if you want to learn, you:
a) beg the owner, possibly throwing in some of your arts/crafts background as proof you won't be in the way and
b) show up the next day and insist you were serious then
c) just pick some blocks from their massive library and get started, badly, because there isn't really any "teaching" going on in the strictest sense.
A printing press in a beautiful part of Hong Kong. It is located on a hillside and has a couple of steep and narrow streets where you can discover gems like this.
I took the picture with my new Nikon F3 with a 1:1,4 50mm fixed focal lens. Amazing camera!
coming soon in very limited edition to tugboatprintshop.com; sign up for T.B.P.S. newsletter for 1st release details tomorrow 🎶
A copper printing block that I found today, it looks like it has got damp at some point and someone has cleaned it up. Hard to hand burnish as it is 2cm x 10cm, and I tend to either smudge it on thick or tear the thinner paper. Oh for a small hand printing press!
Contact printing frames can be bought pre-made (top). Or simple ones (below) can be put together inexpensively using cheap wooden photo frames, scrap pieces of hobby wood, stainless steel bolts, washers, and wingnuts.
If you use photo frames, be careful with the sharp edges of the plate glass, and don't put too much pressure on them or they will crack (been there, done that!). Covering the glass edges with photo tape, or replacing the thin/cheap glass with clear acrylic might be a good idea.
On the left is a broken pot metal lever from an Ilford Advocate. The same part breaks in all of them, so you can't find a spare, and machining a new one was going to be a real chore resulting in a large pile of brass chips and many hours expended.
On the right is a new part, 3D printed in stainless steel by www.shapeways.com from a computer model that I uploaded to their website. They charged $11 plus $6 postage to send me this part in 14 days. This was done in the spring of 2013; since then, they have added brass to their materials offerings, which would make the part easier to finish and also solderable. I highly recommend this service, the capabilities and low cost are a better alternative in my book than investing in your own 3D printer which would be limited to plastic materials. You need to be able to create the computer model for the part, of course - for this I use Alibre software, which I think cost about $300 and works similarly to the much more expensive SolidWorks program that I use at work.
My first "Lumen Printing", ever. Without chemicals, only B&W photographic paper and the sunlight. The original to the left, the inverted to the right.
The printing press used for the course is the Adana, a tabletop press for hobbyists; this model was introduced in 1953.
Pulling down the handle moves the twin rollers up and over the inked disc; if a forme has been inserted then the rollers will transfer ink to the type on their way down. At the same time, the platen is moved up towards the forme. Thus, once the type has been inked, pulling the handle all the way will create an impression: the printed sheet.

I found this little treasure today at the market and immediately had a go at printing it. The block is 2.75cm x 2.25 cm, the image is obviously smaller, so a bit fiddly to hand burnish, but I am happy with it.
ps it photographs silver but I think it is copper
