Tight Registration on a Hand-Fed Platen Press
October 22 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Tight registration–the precise alignment of different printing plates and printed colors–is not as difficult as you think! Were you thinking it was difficult? It takes a little planning and forethought, but tight registration of multiple ink colors on a hand-fed platen press is a breeze. Join us in raising your standards of what good printing looks like in this informative workshop, and come away with the knowledge to create your own full-color letterpress prints!
Registration: $50.
