Mixing and Applying Ink to a Letterpress –
Video Series Instructions

Friday, September 25th, 2009

For as long as I can remember, watching new colors of ink being mixed from other inks always fascinated me. It reminds me of finger painting in kindergarten, which I was quite good at by the way.

For those of you who have never seen the process of hand mixing several primary ink colors together into a new, lively pantone custom color, wait until you see this.

Watch as a new, soy oil green ink is mixed and then applied to a letterpress:

You laughed, you cried, and hopefully you learned something along the way. Thanks for watching and feel free to leave a comment.
