History isn't far away; the future isn't either

Ideas, designs, people, and ownership in the world of print.

A print press is unlike any other piece of machinery made by mankind. Of course, it is not a rocket that takes you to space or an iPhone that you change every other year, but it is the piece of equipment that revolutionized knowledge sharing.  

Printing technology contributed more to the growth of mankind than any other technology, ever. From the Gutenberg Bible onward, the press has helped with propagation of knowledge to places far and wide.  

The most fascinating part of a printing press is its longevity. As a press owner or an operator, you are just one of the many people who would run the machine to produce designs, print ideas and make beautiful thing.  

And then in all probability you would hand over the press to another owner in another country to make and build things. In all fairness you are not the owner of them, and you never were. You are a caretaker of these intergenerational machines.  

Unlike most of the gadgets of today, that we replace nonchalantly, printing machines outlast generation or two, and just this fact make them special.  

One can imagine host of people who would have worked on it, in different places, printing in various languages, profusely bringing designs and ideas to life. Material that we can touch. Books that we read with our kids. Greeting cards that we send to our loved ones and the letters once we wrote.  

You as a printer are custodian of those feelings.
