It's so sad that there is little or no appreciation for letter press or engraving. We usually seek out these printing processes for wedding or other special invitations but ignore the elegance and quality anytime else. As consumers we discount quality for price and we no longer even know what quality is. Even if we do see the quality we discount it in favor of cost. I've been in the business for over 30 years. I I remember letterpress and engraving shops where my dad printed. PSI

They use these things a lot for hand-numbering.

These old letter presses still make a better score\perf than any other machine I have seen in the industry. Most shops that have them, that is their primary pourpose. I remember as a boy going over to dads prinshop and seeing the linetype machine. Watching the guy handfeed sheets into the press kinda sent shivers down my spine.
