Specializing in handset typography and printing on antique hand fed printing presses. They celebrate an art form that since the age of computers has gone the way of the 8-track.  It\u2019s combing through drawers of wooden typefaces.  It\u2019s large iron printing machines powered by feet not electricity.  It\u2019s the feel of the <a href=\"p:\/\/www.printpromotionguide.com\/blog\/what-are-debossing-and-embossing-in-printing.php\">deboss<\/a>, and the smell of the ink that cannot be replaced by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop\/family\/?promoid=BPDEK\">Photoshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is not an official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-raf.org\/\">RAF<\/a> event.  It\u2019s an event sponsored by the <a href=\"http:\/\/upstatenewyork.aiga.org\/\">AIGA<\/a>, and I encourage you to go out and see what the Dock 2 Letterpress is all about.  Why? Because our new RAF mission is to strengthen our creative community, to educate, and inspire great work.
