| You can see where cracks are forming in this old 5 |
WHAT I DID
- Mixed inks for Tootsie's
- Printed the second color of Tootsie's poster
- Repaired some very old and brittle '5's
WHAT I LEARNED
- The more paper you put under type to bump up the pressure, the bigger chance there is for workups
- How to deal with fragile type
- First off, be aware of any fragile areas as you print
- There is only so much you can do about fragile type; you can't prevent all splintering
- If a large section cracks off, it is sometimes possible to repair it by using wood glue then weighing it down as it dries
- Lighter, lower quality wood can be a prime candidate for splintering and cracking
