Using a printing press to print an image of a printing press

Since October 26th is International Print Day, here’s inking a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press to print an image of a late 1700s wooden common press. The ink is a violet oil base ink.

This is the ASMR the internet needs, not people eating food🤣

[@ArielCotton]

Exactly. That food chewing and slow talking is gross as heck to me. Id love to hear industrial sounds along side nature. Yes I'm weird thank you.

does anyone ask?

"Printing presses printing images of printing presses!? How perverse!" - C3PO, probably😁

[@josec.6394]

This is so satisfying. I wonder how this press came to be, like who invented it and how many trials and errors did it take

[@pinja444]

Johannes Gutenberg invented it.

[@beefchicken]

@@pinja444 Gutenberg‘s was nothing like this. He repurposed a vertical screw press used to press grapes to make wine. This little Kelsey 3x5 is more closely modelled after the Gordon platen press invented by George Phineas Gordon in 1850.

I want a separate video of this for an hour😫 the sounds are so satisfying

[@scratchragestudios9884]

Never find cool printers like this anymore and it’s amazing on how it works. Love it!!

[@stonedan0]

Can you tell me how an inkjet printer works? Pretty amazing huh

[@mrcregg0915]

My grandfather had one just like this, I vividly remember printing custom napkins for weddings and stuff with him as a kid. Thank you for this warm piece of nostalgia 💙

[@dickgoesinya9419]

Now days some jerk would want to sue him for not using food grade ink

[@istherenoother]

I love the mechanics of old machinery.

[@BanilyaGorilya]

Oooh! Looks like someone gouges their ink! Even if you don’t use it, scoop out all the dried ink and dispose of it. Then using your spatula, smooth an even layer of ink parallel to the level of the tin can. A can of gouged ink gives more surface area for the ink to dry and renders the ink unusable. Just a heads up from someone who learned the hard way by gouging the shop ink and being “ostracized” by my professors and techs.

[@jeffmiller1159]

You almost had me fooled into thinking you were a pressman until you called the ink knife a spatula. Good point though.

[@ninammnn]

This video is so relaxing

Watching that roller coat the press with paint was BEYOND SATISFYING…thank you for sharing this video…🫡⭐️🫵🏽

[@SacramentoHistoryMuseum]

It’s ink, not paint!

[@imskjrpops6389]

@@SacramentoHistoryMuseum yeah I meant to type ink, I drew a blank page after I began typing and just went with paint.. I love historical machinery they just amaze me how a 100 year old piece of equipment functions flawlessly like the old newspaper presses…

I think 45 years ago I use do this job at my Dad's business. That one is bigger size machine though. I missed all that stuff.

This is really cool!

Watching the paint even out was so unexpectedly satisfying. I didn't even think about how something like this was needed but it makes total sense

[@anatomicallycorrectmuppets8180]

Omg that is so much work, I don’t understand how that’s an improvement over a rubber stamp

Just with the sound you know this is good quality 👍

Perfect spread ever..

[@rudra7615]

So much effort for so little return. Crazy we weren't more efficient in the past

You could print a thousand copies with that machine. So it becomes more efficient.

Still works better than my inkjet printer.

[@chrisrussell1800]

I bet the could have made it completely silent. But, it was made by a man. So satisfying mechanical noises, im supposing, were mandatory Such an awesome sound

[@beefchicken]

The loudest noise is the sound of the pawl on the back of the ink disk. There were quieter arrangements for advancing the ink disk, my press uses bevel gears and a sprag clutch and the ink disk rotates silently. You may be surprised to learn, though, that it was also made by a man.

[@freefireplatform]

seen printing press for the first time ,it's cool.

[@leenasahai4675]

It is almost a stencil which was used in olden days with the cyclo style machine we have done it
