Hi apo-printshop,
I have a few questions.
Can the letterpress hold paper of size 6" x 17" ?
And if so, is it practical to print onto stiff paper of this size?
There would not be a huge amount of text, and the number of impressions
would be fairly small (under 200), but I'm not sure what area of bedding
is usable in practice, nor how effective gauge pins might be in pulling
paper that wide back from the type.
