So, this is the first post from The Counter Press, a soon-to-be private press, producing small-scale, beautiful typographic designs. Although so far we only have two slightly rusty Model Printing Presses (No. 2 and No. 3), which we are slowly but surely cleaning them up, whilst gathering all the other necessary bits and pieces together.
And although the Victorian presses are new to us, we aren't entirely new to the print process. The Counter Press is run by graphic designers David Marshall and Elizabeth Ellis. But we have tired of our computers, and are now eager to get our hands inky using more traditional methods of design.
Hopefully, in the not too distant future we'll be up and running, and printing to our hearts content. Well, that's the aim anyway. We'll keep you posted…
