Museum of Printing In working order Please allow me first to invite visitors, free of any charge,to visit us and see what we have and do here. Visitors are welcome to print for themselves under careful supervision, at their own risk. We have a range of vintage and antique printing machines available for the public to view and in some selected cases, to play with. Visitors are shown the equipment by the owners, in person. They are welcome to ask questions and we aim to provide intelligent and experienced answers. The enthusiasm, we feel, is sure to rub off. We do this strictly for our own pleasure. We do not expect to be paid or to be sued if you are stupid enough to stick your hands in a moving printing press! I hope that bit is perfectly clear! All visits are strictly at the visitor's risk. In return we promise not to sue you if you break our stuff. If you cannot accept this, don't come. No children or under 16 year olds at all! 16 - 18 years old under the parents supervision. We like to engage with our visitors on a one-to-one basis, so, since there are only two of us, maximum numbers at any one time are two. We are in the heart of the Norfolk Broads and we have miles of glorious sandy beach to north and south, so there is plenty for the rest of the family to enjoy all around. Price! There's thousands of pounds worth of antique kit here and we want to grow it all the time. If you print something, I charge £20 per 1000ens if you set yourself any type (and I diss it for you, so as to keep my cases clean) to print things for yourself, which you are welcome to do. This just covers the cost of dissing your work. It is not for profit.

This treadle platen was built around 1890 and is a recent acquisition. It is a jobbing press,with a clamshell action, with both theplaten and the bedmoving to allow maximum access. Thereis no guarding whatever, so the hands have to beabsolutley reliable and accurate. The foot has to e very slowand steady as well as quite powerful. This is a heavy press, which is 14" wide and 9" deep. It will print foolscap comfortably. This modern machine demonstrates the modern way of making paperback books as compared with the old way of doing the job in hardback by hand. The composing department deserves another picture. I will ask Mark to take one, when it's all there. For now it is made up of 4 full frames, each of 20 cases of type, 3 galley rack stacks, an imposing stone and tons of type, spacing and all you will need. We print one side of a broadsheet with just one font of it.
