Letterpress Printing education is strong at the Cary through our Technology Collection of some 30 working vintage presses and thousands of fonts of metal and wood type. Visit with us online to learn how we preserve these letterpress artifacts through continued use. A live printing demonstration and spirited Q/A session are sure to make an “impression.”
