Paperback edition. This is the definitive printing manual for printing students, contemporary printers and printing historians. A master printer, Richard-Gabriel Rummonds has written a work destined to become a standard text on the art of fine printing. Students, printers, and printing historians will find this new book gratifying, enlightening and extremely instructive. Filling the need for a systematic, step-by-step manual for using this time-honored piece of equipment, this award winning printer and author presents how to print on the iron handpress in comprehensive and thorough detail.
Rummonds' instruction has been gained from over 30 years of experience working with such presses. Drawing his inspiration from historical practices and modifying them for the needs of contemporary printers, he treats this device as if it needs only the proper operation in order to realize its optimum potential.
Rummonds lays out this manual by covering all the materials involved and step-by-step, the various different ways to achieve the same result - to make a distinct, substantial and evenly-inked impression on damp paper. Realizing that there is more than one way to print, the author concentrates on methods that can be repeated with a reasonable amount of success and dependability as well as serving as a point of departure for experimentation. With a Foreword by Harry Duncan, over 400 illustrations and technical drawings by George Laws, and 35 photographs of famous, well-known, historical and contemporary fine printers at their presses. End materials include an extensive glossary, bibliography, and a list of suppliers. Sales Rights: Available outside the UK from Oak Knoll Books. Available in the UK from The British Library.
