Hello-
I was referred to you by Samuel Evans. I'm Mike Tarkanian, I'm an
instructor in Materials Science. I've always had a fascination with
letterpress and it just came to my attention that APO has a
letterpress. One of the things I do for DMSE is run a rapid
fabrication shop, and it occurred to me that it would be a really
cool project to make custom blocks for letterpress. We have the
facilities to basically make any kind of block -- any image, any
material, etc.
I'm wondering if it might be possible for me to come see the
letterpress at some point, see how it works, and get a feel for it.
Maybe down the line we could make some custom blocks for it!
Thanks,
Mike
