Revitalized Blog
After managing to keep this blog updated on a pretty consistent daily basis, it’s about time that I begin to show some of my other blogs some love as well.
I’ve started this week with DesignPrintBlog! Just up yesterday is a short post on the Kelsey Excelsior 5×8 Printing Press. Even though rotary presses were available, these were still used as starter presses for many small and upstart printers back in their day. But, even while some ask “Is Print Doomed?,” similar presses are still being made!
I know I won’t have daily updates on there just yet, but hope to get at least 2-3 posts per week to start out. I have an idea for a Friday feature, but probably won’t start that until next Friday, January 25th.
Be sure to take a peek, and also check out the Kelsey press post if you haven’t done so already!

I don’t know too terribly much about the printing business, other than it helped bring about the end of my sister-in-law’s first marriage. He was a nice enough guy, but he was determined to make it on his own in business, the printing business. When he first started the business there was a lot of demand. They lived in the DC area and he even got some government jobs. Then, some time in the 90s, he started having problems getting business, but he was determined that he could make a go of it, going deeper and deeper in debt to the point that it became a significant strain on the marriage.
The 90’s were rough. The 00’s aren’t much better.
Awesome, I’m the third person to comment on DesignPrintBlog! WOOO!
Now, if I can just get the Top Commentators working… Just need to apply all the updates I’ve made on this blog to that one!
