Great print. I would say treadle slower, fan out the card stock to make pick up easier and more consistent, try to pick up at the same time as take off the platen so you keep the impression on all the time. Will make the run much quicker and more consistent ink coverage. Lovely to see these old machines trundling along. Some people like to use a “ rubber thimble” to pull off the paper from the platen easier and more consistent. Getting the rhythm in hand feeding takes some practice. I’ve hand fed everything from platens to folding machines and a lot more. You really don’t need to check each print - once you have inked up and have your impression make ready set you should aim for impression on 👍 Love the cards and design + colour👍

Thank you Jonathan! So far I've only been able to leave the impression lever engaged while printing once, I need to keep practicing! I like to skip feed especially when the form is large for better ink distribution. Might need to invest in one of those thimbles, I drop my sheets far too often 😁

Can't quite believe it but was fascinated all the way through. What does pulling the handle actually do? It sounds like something strikes the plate.

That's the impression lever! Pulling it allows the paper to touch the printing plate 😉

I loved watching your video! I was just like you back in when I went from a retail music job in the mall and worked at a nursery just up the hill from where I lived. I had no knowledge of plants and I had to research all the books as there was no Google but I loved learning everything and I especially loved the annual department where I spent a lot of time learning and caring for them. We had the greatest staff and it was an independent longstanding nursery with so many great people, I began to study computers in school at the same time and started making printed list for them of the potting soils and all the flowers with the prices so they didn't have to go searching it was already on the counters for them. I still dream about that job and wish I could go back, one of the best jobs I ever had!

Mary, wonderful video. I worked in offset printing for over 40 years. Ink and paper were my life. At times it was a struggle and others it was a gift. One needs both. You never learn without the struggles. Learning is one of the fun aspects of printing. I loved mixing ink and matching color, and blending cmyk on press. And till the day I retired 2 years ago, I never stopped learning. To me one masters his or her trade when one learns to love it.

Not sure why you move your press so fast. Those guys in Sacramento museum use to move it more slowly like half as much, but they can print continuously and just put paper in and out each turn so it looks more efficient and less difficult.

Great job..I fell in love with printing in Jr High School and High school with this type of printing way back in the 70s..Graphic Art's Class was my favorite throughout my school years. And right out of High School I found a job as Flexographic pressman and continued my love for printing. Please keep up the great content in your videos. Oh I also noticed the candles under the ink pan to help warm up the ink so it can transfer better..at least that's what I'm thinking. Maybe you just like the smell of those candles better the ink itself? Lol
