The Press at
Windswept Farm
Saugerties, NY
Yes, we really are a press. Actually, a few of them, all rather small. They are treadle operated. You pump them with your foot as you feed paper or card-stock onto the platen and pull your hand out....very quickly..... to feed the next piece.
That's what I did as a teenager, working in a small print shop in an old stone barn from the 1800's in upstate New York. It got so cold in the winter I had to wear gloves with the finger tips chewed off. I must have printed 50 zillion raffle tickets! Printing is now a hobby, so I no longer need to hitchhike across town on Saturday mornings.
