Following up on how printing ink is made, I wanted to bring you some letterpress porn. I could watch these videos all day. This one is from Field Notes, who I’ve discussed previously and just announced a new color in their lineup: “Raven’s Wing“. It’s a good looking notebook. Seriously. If I didn’t already have too many of the regular Field Notes cahiers, I would totally get a pack of these.
I can’t think of anything I don’t love about this video. The rousing old-timey march spun slightly too slow on an old record player, the press shooting off uniformly attractive black notebook covers efficiently, or just the knowledge that the resulting product will be a beautiful black Field Notes cahier.
In any case, check it out. It’ll bring a tear to the scribomechanical enthusiasts’ eye.
“…rousing old-timey ‘waltz’ spun too…” 😉
Thanks for the link, great stuff!
I totally ordered a pack for me, and a pack for my wife. They had me with the Poe references (being a Baltimorean and all). 🙂
These are like little grimoires, waiting to be filled with black magic musings and dark, maddening thoughts…or grocery lists in a pinch.
