Day 15

The Meile– this is a monster-sized press used for large runs of posters


WHAT I DID
  • Printed my Carrie Underwood posters
  • Put up type


WHAT I LEARNED
  • Learning how to gauge how much ink it takes to print certain things
  • Neat typesetting is important– the tiniest misalignment of reglet/lead can cause type to print incorrectly
  • Always check your lockup before shoving more lead in
  • Too tight of a lockup can cause type to buckle/work up
