I model an early letterpress, a type cabinet, and a mold for making letterpresses all together based on actual model at the Basel Papermill museum in Switzerland.The letterpress is modeled separately for each of its working steps, which are arranged in order.The models of the letterpress are arranged in the following order: punch, matrix, and type.Please use the model for the part you need.

■Letterpress The model closest to the cabinet is a movable model Steps

  • Open the top panel (fittings were provided on the ceiling to hold it in the open position)
  • Ink the paper (the operator was called a beater because the ink was applied by tapping)
  • Put the paper on the printing surface
  • Press the paper to the press Slide the paper to the part
  • Press Only one page can be pressed at a time. Printing is done in spreads, but each sheet of paper had to be pressed twice.
