Day 24

Outside the shop around closing time

WHAT I DID

• Finished folding all 500 560 of my Christmas cards
• Cut out the shape of Africa for a pressure print
• Helped Laura finish up some Christmas posters
• Got a surprise visit from Kyle and Brett
• Got halfway through the first color of my Music City Roots poster 

Orange rake, check

WHAT I LEARNED

• How to be more efficient on the back press
• Keep the press moving
• Utilize both hands to the fullest!
• Don't let the rollers sit still at the end of the press
• As your poster comes back, be loading the next piece of paper to print underneath
• 25 Line Gothic No. 4 has great texture on the back when printed upside down
• Teeny imperfections or hard spots from foreign matter left in chipboard can damage type– don't risk it
