Take a look at this amazing 7 color print being made on a 1911 Chandler and Price printing press. It's so cool to see the traditional letterpress process in action, with each color being fed in by hand and printed one at a time. The final product is truly unique and beautiful. The craftsmanship of this vintage machine is truly mesmerizing.

And it's not just the press that's special about this video, I also made the print blocks out of wood using a CNC router. It was a lot of work but it was worth it to see the final result. It's amazing how technology like a CNC router can be used to create such beautiful and intricate designs for letterpress printing. It's a perfect blend of old-school craftsmanship and modern technology that I really love. I hope you'll enjoy the video and appreciate the effort that went into creating these print blocks.
