100 Printers Pledged - Posted August 24, 2008
We have reached our goal of 100 printers for the Centenary Print Bundle. Thank you to everyone who pledged. Thanks to John Christopher who got the ball rolling. As prints are received I will post jpegs on the Print Bundle Gallery page.
I am accepting names for a wait list as it is likely that a few pledges will drop out at some point, but hopefully, in time for alternates to step in. If the wait list continues grow a second bundle invitation may be extended. To sign up use the contact form.
Creasing/Die-cutting on a Vandercook? - Posted August 10, 2008
Alot of cutting and creasing in the UK seems to be done on Heidlebergs – I haven’t got one of those, so my question is this: does any one use their Vandercook for cutting and/or creasing and if so what do you use?
For cutting I assume you would pack/protect the cylinder from the die with absorbent material – is there a hard rubber blanket people use?
For creasing I can envisage using brass rule – or are there dedicated creasing ‘widgets’ out there?
Thanks
John Christopher
Sleeve attachment for hand-activated grippper bar - Posted August 6, 2008
This post related to Hand gripper lever for a No. 3. –PM:
Here’s a quick sketch. I don’t have a #3 around me, but if the Gripper Trip Lever is anything like a #4 or an SP-20, you can undo the top 2 screws and let it swing free, slide the tube over, and reassemble.
