A small selection of printing blocks that we have hanging in an original frame used to hold original type lettering. We've acquired the blocks over a number of years, purchasing them in antique fairs & other shops as we've seen those that we like. My favourites are the Penguin book logo and the HMV (master & his voice) logo (not shown).
Hope you all had a Happy New Year. I'm off to work now.....
The SWC cyanotype mixture is discussed in Chapter 7 of Christina Anderson's book "Cyanotype". Basically, the SWC mixture is one part A, one part B, and two parts Mike Ware’s new cyanotype. For a 5x7 print area, 0.5 ml, 0.5 ml, 1 ml is about right, ratios for A to B to NC. Read Chapter 7 for many more details. And remember: you will need to determine a new standard exposure time as well as make a new curve for printing your negatives when using the SWC mixture.

An advert issued by the "Werbekunst Epoche Reklame-GmbH of Frankfurt am Main in the German magazine issued by the "Association of German Advertising Professionals" - Die Reklame zeitschrift des Verbandes Deutscher Reklamefachleute EV and the 1 Januar-Heft 1926 (1 January 1926) issue produced by Verlag Francken & Lang.
The WER were an advertising agency who appear to have been responsible for the production and sales of the on-screen advertising shown in between films/movies at the cinemas of the UFA - a concern founded in 1917 in the midst of World War One as the Universum-Film Aktiengesellschaft. It was intended to act as part of the German 'home front' propaganda machine - in post-WW1 years it went on to become a major film producer as well as an owner of cinemas. In later years it became synomymous with the Nazi Government but it survived the war and elements of the company survive, as part of Bertlesmann, as UFA.
The design of the advert that is entitled " At this sign you will win", as in win business, combines the UfA logo along with a WER 'man' to create a striking if complex logo. No designer is given.

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."
My friend Kelvin couldn't resist the temptation of Polapremium's big discount on the "Polaroid Pogo Moleskine Special Edition" and despite the not so good reviews all over the net, I said "count me in" knowing that I will need a real small photo printer for my travel journals. We both regretted on the day we received the package.
The price is amazingly attractive. A PoGo alone costs US$80 to $150, but Polapremium is selling this special set at US$72, you get a free Moleskine too. I love both brands and the packaging is great. The size of it is a little bigger than an iPhone and about double the thickness of an iPhone. The first thing I did was to charge it up but to my surprise the power socket on PoGo is kind of shaky probably because of it not being soldered to the circuit board strong enough by design. The power button on the machine is hard to press and located right beside the USB cable which is very inconvenient. After more than 6 hours of charging, the printer printed 6 photos and the battery indicator became red and refused to print another one. Yeah I know, I was warned about battery life but this is not portable at all.
Print quality.... totally unacceptable. It looks like a result of laser print out (you can actually see the contours of color layers especially in dark areas), but resolution of an inkjet (I know, I'm not able to describe it properly but this is how I feel). You can also see faint white vertical lines every 3mm on the print, not a good sight as a photo. The paper gives you an impression of cheap labels instead of a photo print with glue on the back. I cannot find any information about the acidity of the paper and glue.
I know these are pretty crude comments, considering the amazing zero ink technology by Zink behind this. I think it has great potential, just that both the paper and the machine are not mature enough to give end user a good photo print coz it is natural for us to compare print quality with a lab or a typical photo printer despite high admiration of its technology behind. I love the size, bluetooth printing and pictbridge support. I hate the battery and print quality. For serious photo journaling people, I cannot recommend PoGo.

A very colourful poster issued by Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Aktien-Gesellschaft, better known as HAPAG or the Hamburg-American line and that dates from around 1930. Unusually, in that it is reproduced for a printing and design journal, no designer nor artist is shown but the printers are; Offsetdruck Otto Elsner of Berlin.
HAPAG was formed in 1847 and soon developed into Germany's, and sometimes the world's, largest steamship line primarily based on the mainstay of its trade for many years, emigration from Germany and Eastern Europe to America. It also sailed around the globe and had a large cruise touring programme as advertised by this English language poster for Mediterranean and Far Eastern tours. In 1970 it merged with the German company Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL) (North German Lloyd) to form HAPAG-Lloyd, still in business today.
The printers are I'm sure Druckerei Otto Elsner, founded in Berlin in 1871 and who are still in business.
This is Emi. She is an artist who commissioned me to do some shots of her at work and her portrait for a maga-logue she will be in. She is carving this wood that will be used to print large canvases. Taken at her new studio.
You have seen her work already in my stream here!
"Job-Printing, Surveying, Conveyancing, &c., attended to by Jesse I. Dauman, notary public, Waynesburg, Chester Co., Pa."
A nineteenth-century sign that dates to the 1870s or 1880s and lists all the services that Jesse I. Dauman could provide. Dauman also published a local newspaper, as mentioned in the History of Chester County, Pennsylvania (1881) (via Google Books): "The Honeybrook Graphic, a weekly paper, was established at Honeybrook (formerly Waynesburg), Feb 15, 1879, by J. Henry Long, and conducted by him until August 8th of the same year, when he disposed of it to Jesse I. Dauman, who has since then been editor and proprietor. Mr Dauman has had a job printing-office at Honeybrook since April, 1869."

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.
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.
