| All our fun typesetting the past few days is adding up...and up and up... |
WHAT I DID
- Music City Roots poster– complete!
- Met with my client for the Carrie Underwood poster, got my first job approval (this means printing will ensue)
- Mixed the colors for the Underwood poster
- Got lots of reglet splinters– boo!
WHAT I LEARNED
- Before you print your job on the press, we hand-brayer the set type and pull a proof (rub tracing paper onto the inked letters with your hand and/or a wooden spoon)
- Coat proofs twice with corn starch, then brush it off to help keep ink from smudging
- Ink proofs diagonally, and pull the tracing paper off diagonally– it keeps the type from sticking and lifting up
