Hey everyone,
There aren't really any usable rollers for the small press any more, and
some of the ones we have for the large press have seen better days as well.
So, at long last, I'm going to be having several of our rollers recast, and
we'll probably have them back in like-new condition in about a month.
In the meantime, I thought some of you might be interested to take a peek
at the website of the company we're using to do this work - much like us,
they're doing what they do to try to preserve what would otherwise be the
lost art of printing. They have a page with some nice pictures of the
casting process...
