Our motive to print is our own pleasure. We use both ancient and modern processes. Glassware, boxes, fabrics & paper. books, manuals, signs & vehicles. We love to publish your own works for you. This is done not for profit. Craft and technology in harmony.

Catseye private press is not just a static museum. Selected people, are invited, indeed encouraged, to print things for themselves on our letterpress equipment. They will get the run of the composing and print rooms, as long as they promise to do their own diss. and wash-ups. Fair? I think so! We are in league with our friends at The Hill House Inn, which provides excellent accomodations at a sensible price. The pub and the museum are but a few minutes apart in a car. Retired printers are expected to enjoy this more than anybody else. I am very happy to spend as much time with them as I can afford and help them to produce any work or project at which they fancy having go. I would hope that our comp. room will be of particular pleasure to a letterpress printer and that the range of machines and the smell of the ink can invoke long past memories. As to students, I am happy to teach any person to print If letterpress printing fascinates and you have actually earned a real living producing the printed word in a commercial environment or would love to learn how it is (still) done, from scratch, then you are more than welcome. We are in the midst of the Norfolk Broads, with the sea to our north-east, only 50 yards away. The rest of the family will have plenty to do for up to a month; all the year round. Price! I do this as my hobby, so treat it as a gift. All I might say is that if you cost me money (paper, ink and so on), do cover your costs please.

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.

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.
