    When I commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marines it was a requirement to get engraved calling cards. I’m sad to hear that tradition has ended. But seeing this makes me want to get new ones as an old retired officer.

    Great video, reminds me of my dad’s old print shop! Some shops still had old Heidelberg presses in Miami during the 80s.

      I'm using Adobe Illustrator to do the digital typesetting and then using that file to create letterpress plates for the press.

    Thank you so much for posting this wonderful video of your Chandler & Price letterpress. I grew up in my dad's print shop, and printed many a job on one of these machines. The shots of oiling the press and inking the platen almost made me cry! Thank you so much for preserving this! I still have some of the business cards I got from you, but it will be time to order more soon.

      Thanks! And yes, we bought a Vanagon in Utah and shipped out bus back home. Sad to leave the bus behind, but very much enjoying the benefits of a "newer" vehicle.
