Yep, that is the goal. A Chandler & Price 8x12 platen press. It's just beautiful. I think it probably is celebrating its 50th birthday about now. This thing does everything but make me a cup of coffee. My big plans are to put this machine in my basement and Ben and I print from there. The only problem is that is weighs a hefty 1200 pounds and it will not be easy to get it into the house. It will have to be taken apart, lowered from a truck in the garage, and reassembled once into the house. Even better, it comes with three cabinets of wood type, a cutter, and all of the necessary accessories to run the machine. I'm so excited I can hardly take it. I'll be sure to post more pictures later. The guy who moves it is supposed to come and look at our stairway asap. Until then, I'll just dream....

That jewel has your name all over it! Good luck with the move. I know it wants to get to your basement as much as you want it to get there. Live the dream! (does it have a name yet?)
I am so excited for you....and a little for more future print needs
