We will continue our exploration of how to use George P. Gordon's 19th century printing invention - The Platen Press. This time we will learn how to set up the press for scoring paper to make it easier for folding as well as learn how to print two or more colors. Standard colored inks can be taken straight from the can, but we will learn how to mix our own.

Participants should have taken the letterpress orientation session or have equivalent in letterpress. There is not charge and materials are provided.
