Using a printing press to print an image of a printing press. This letterpress cut was printed in Pantone Red Pepper oil base ink. The image depicts a wooden common press, very similar to what Johannes Gutenberg invented in the 1450s. The press used in the video is a 3×5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop press. #red #sacramento #printingpress #asmr #letterpress #museum | Sacramento History Museum

Happy Birthday Johannes Gutenberg! 🎉 To celebrate, watch how Gutenberg’s printing press works. Gutenberg introduced several new elements that helped mechanize the process of printing using metal movable type. He devised a method to cast uniform metal type, innovated a durable oil-based ink, and modified a screw-operated wooden press (think a wine or olive press) that made printing faster and more efficient. The result was revolutionary. #OnThisDay #BibleImpact #Gutenberg | Museum of the Bible
