I spent a chunk of my weekend 3D printing the small etching press released by the Open Press Project, to give to one of my kids who is studying traditional intaglio printing (and who has access to much more serious presses at school.)

Where did this idea 'Physical #Media needs to Die' come from? I mean, WTF? This seems like more 'people who don't learn from #history' crap to me.
Do you know why the 'Dark Ages' is called the 'Dark Ages'? It's not because people were less literate than they were during the Roman Empire. It's because THEY STOPPED WRITING THINGS DOWN.
We call it the 'Dark Ages' because we have so few histories written during that time. But proof of #literacy exists:

Can anyone help with an email enquiry I've received about the history of the hashtag?
"I've been looking at how the symbol evolved from the abbreviation of libra pundo to what we see today. But I'm finding very little about the visual history of the symbol pre-20th century ... of what printers were using for this symbol — and how — between the 17th and 19th centuries.”
cc @shadychars — perhaps this is covered in your book?
pdfimpose is 10 years old! How did it start?
I was visiting my sister in Switzerland, when we stumbled upon the "Atelier-Musée encre et plomb" ("Ink and Lead Workshop and Museum" https://encretplomb.ch/). It is an awesome printing museum: they have printing presses, from Gutenberg to the Linotype, and THEY USE THEM IN FRONT OF YOU! So you actually *see* their improvements over the centuries. There was also a part about binding, where they talked about imposition…
I made a tool to send a letter now people use it to just print
Have you backed the latest Kickstarter from @glennf?
Rewards for 'Six Centuries of Type & Printing: New Edition' are only available until Friday this week.

Wow, printing on Linux is really plug and play these days:

I don't understand why some print shops ask for sRGB source documents *without* providing a gamut limiting icc profile so you can see what the hell you are doing.
I get taking in sRGB files for non-vector printing. But without that gamut limiter you're guessing what kind of gamut narrowing will happen so you should still have access to an icc profile.
At least, in my opinion as a self-made expert
