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.
Kuala Lumpur City Gallery is located in a historical building that was in use as a printing office in 1899 during the British colonial administration. Designed by A. Norman based on neo-renaissance principles with exposed bricks, plastered columns, and semi circular windows.
In 1977 the Metropolitan Postal Security Office moved in and in 1986 the City Hall bought the building and turned it into the first public librabry of KL.
Now it houses a Tourist Welcome Centre. The ground floor of the City Gallery houses a large city map, a history section, and the ARCH Workshop and a gift shop. The first floor the Russell Floor holds the impressively large architectural scale model of Greater Kuala Lumpur.
I love seeing how some of my photography turns out this actually came out pretty nice when I printed it out
I'll probably buy some holographic paper so I can make some really nice holographic work with some of my photography
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
The Ben Day process involved screens with raised dots or patterns that could be painted with ink or other media and then burnished onto prepared areas of an exposed zinc plate before etching, a photographic negative before exposing onto a prepared metal plate, or even onto artwork or ad material before it was photographed for the printing process. A complex and unique process, it appears in use from the late 1800s through the 1980s—maybe beyond in specialized industries or printing plants that didn't update.
On this page, a standard form of the device is shown with details about what tints and patterns are available. It appears to be from
The page shows at the bottom the printed results of applying 40 patterns to photographic negatives before etching and then printing. Compare No. 532 on this page with the identical No. 532 in the next image in this sequence. A 20% tint applied as a layer of pigment to a negative means that 20% of the exposed area is opaqued out, leaving 80% clear. When exposed onto a photosensitized plate, the clear areas harden. During etching, only the unexposed portions wash away. As a result, the relief plate used directly for printing (or through duplication in the stereotype mold/plate method) have 80% of the area covered in tint.

East Lansing resident Arie Koelewyn adjusts the spacing between letters after a test run on the printing press on Sept. 29, 2016 in the art studio at Snyder Hall.
The printing frame was left with the sensitized salted paper in contact with the calotype negaive for a few hours on my terrace. Little did I know, that while I was in the basement darkroom it started to rain. Though the frame was not totally unprotected the wind direction made some rain come on the frame and inside it. The thin calotype paper got wet and being pressed wrinkles appeared immediately as the swelling paper was also restricted and got wet in the upper half mostly. The contact with salted paper released the chemistry which got into the calotype negative causing yellowing. I conducted a rescue operation and think I saved it by minimising the damage.
The rescue operation:
1. put in a water bath immediately for about 30 min in subdued light.
This, to make the paper relax fully all over and release the water soluble discoloration which comes from contact with other materials, including the wooden frame
2. refix for 2 min in fresh hypo. In case the calotype negative sucked in chemistry from the saltprint paper it could have become light sensitive. Refixing may also help remove some of the yellow/brown discoloration
3. wash for 2 hrs. This was done to make sure all hypo is removed and if any other watersoluble substances were in the paper.
Canosn Marker layout is a strong paper and survives all this remarkably well, if this was Hahnehühlle paper I would have more trouble with distortions and possibly tears
4. air drying hanged up and weighted to stretch the calotype lightly when drying.
5. pressing in hard press put between two pieces of clean archival (unbuffered) pieces of mat board. My newly acqured press has proved incredibly useful.
The rsult is a flat calotype with light yellow staing seen in low density areas of the tree and the top of the building. Just printed from the rescued calotype and see no serious failure. I have a feeling that if this was a glass plate negative I would not be able to save it.
Cheers and skål for paper negatives!

An old machine, probably about 70 or 80 years old or more and used for printing propaganda leaflets and single page newspapers. Possibly a wartime memorial?
An example of the wood engraver's art at its best, advertising their own ability as an artist and engraver. In the 19th century many engravers outside of the larger cities worked alone or with one or two others to provide the needs of their local advertisers and printers. The fanciful types and borders, and use of children and dogs in their imagery speaks to a much simpler time.
