what do u know about letterpress printing? ari is interested in it & i was thinking of getting her one of these cheap-ish ~$200 tabletop presses they seem to always have on ebay as a bday present... dunno if the quality is good enough? or how hard it is to cut & make ur own plates? any thoughts or is this outside yr area of expertise

i want one too max

max: i'm not really much of an expert on letterpress, not on the equipment side anyways. but a table top press is a good start for someone new to printing. the problem is you kind of need a lot of stuff to go along with it and you need a lot of space - does she want to do images or text or both? you can pick up type cases from junkyards sometimes for cheap, but they're really heavy and often missing a lot of letters. then you need frames and quoins and furniture, rollers and inks and spacers and composing sticks. to make your own plates you need to know how to make photo polymer plates (although i guess she could make wood cuts too, although i'm not really sure how difficult this). how much experience does she have with letterpress? if she doesn't have much, instead of buying her an actual press i would suggest offering to buy her classes where she could learn how to make plates or get more experience printing. are you in NY? in san francisco there is a place called the Centre for the Book, and after you've taken their beginner and intermediate classes you can hire their presses and have access to all their equipment for pretty cheap. there's probably something similar where you live. it's just really expensive to get started doing this otherwise, and this way she can learn heaps before making the commitment to buying her own stuff.

i don't really know much about the presses themselves, so i couldn't tell you if any of the ones on ebay are any good.
