Can we letterpress print with more than one ink color with our Washington hand press? In this video, Jared letterpress prints the word “NO” showing that 6 ink colors is possible. The order from left to right in the galley tray at the beginning is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Some of the inks are oil base and some are rubber base. This is the largest wood type that we have in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum. #no #art #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #
