Ah, ha. I did it! Today I bought a press. A Vandercook 317 . As you can see from the photo, there is a lot of work to do. Luckily my boss at The Mandate Press finds great joy in fixing presses up and has volunteered to help me. I can't wait!! I own a press, look at me, does that make me grown up yet?
Guess what friends, that means you all have a source for custom note cards, Christmas cards, birth announcements, and invitations for the rest of your life. Isn't that cause for joy? I think so.
Not to brag, ok, it really is blatant bragging, but at the Mandate, I am known for my keen ability to mix color. This will come in handy. I won't have to buy a ton of ink colors, I can do some skillful mixing. I love ink, I love paper, I love machinery, I love my new press, the 317!
