Plasunte and the measured world of letterpress

Field notes

The material is organized as a complete print cycle rather than a collection of isolated tips. It moves from the arrangement of sorts in a composing case to the physical locking of a form, press preparation, ink rolling, pressure, paper selection, and eventual redistribution of the type. The text gives unusually concrete reference points, including a 23.56 mm continental type height, the role of lower-height furniture, and the special demands of Czech letters with háčeks and čárky.
