This week I decided on a name for my little home-based hobby print shop, and yeah, it’s basic but appropriate!

I’m looking forward to beginning to actually print out there sometime in the next couple weeks. I’ve got clean-up sheets on the way this week, and I think that’s the last thing I need before I feel comfortable actually putting any ink in the fountain. I know I still need to level the press and run some test sheets through to make sure the paper feed is smooth and doesn’t jam up. And after I do that I’ll want to run through the whole process step-by-step at least a couple times without ink, to make sure I don’t make a big mess of it while learning the ropes. But there are a couple of adjustments that require there be ink on the rollers, so I know it’s going to get at least a little messy. I’ll try to document that process.
