- If you have been following along our videos, you would know that a stack of newspaper is used often when we are printing with our Washington hand press. The newspaper was leftover from an old exhibit years ago and Howard saved some. Why we use the stack of newspaper is one of our most frequently asked questions we get from viewers.
The short stack of newspaper (which was published in January 2007 by the Sacramento Bee) serves as packing, which is required in letterpress printing. It helps print a more full image but it also helps protect the old equipment. Much of the type and cuts we print were made 90-130 years ago and the printing press was made 172 years ago.
The subject on the newspaper has recently gotten the attention from the DoubleTree by Hilton because of the large DoubleTree advertisement. We received a wonderful package in the mail from DoubleTree and it included cookies, stickers, magnets, and some complimentary stays at any DoubleTree.
In this video, Howard opened the package and Jared letterpress printed a message that was included in the letter. This was a great printing challenge but we were up for the challenge! The message reads, “DoubleTree by Hilton. Two sweet options. Allergy-friendly or Original cookie. Choose at check-in!” This was set in 60 point Cheltenham Bold font. Thank you, DoubleTree for the great gift and thank you for being with us, through an old newspaper ad, in most of our printing videos!

"press the red button howard"
always the best part
How absolutely nice of everyone involved. The calming History Museum video and the very nice DoubleTree folks. I've stayed at one or two over the years and always forget they have cookies until they remind me.
One day I will make it to the Museum, see the hand press, and stay at the Sacramento Doubletree. One day! Greetings from South Carolina.
That was nice from the Double Tree. Few months back I checked out the addressed, and was pleased to see it is still around.
Well that was a random act of kindness!!!
When my wife and I travel we always seek out the hospitality of a Hilton property.
That was nice of them!
What a lovely package ❤
A very, very wonderful work that took me back in time and my memories with my father in the printing press
I hope you guys do go on a holiday as a team. Would love to see a vlog on that! ❤
🎉Feliz martes🎉 muchas felicidades por su reconocimiento. Es muy buen gesto por parte de DoubleTree darles esos obsequios. No me he hospedado en ese hotel, pero sin duda serán contemplados en un próximo viaje que realice. Saludos cordiales desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷
