We have been setting type in Studio. The letters are all reversed so we set everything upside down from left to right. I'm making a quote by Arthur Schopenhauer that says "Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world" in size 48 Universal Bold Extended. I also used some big unlabeled wooden letters for the word "world." The quote has to do with vision which corresponds to the Vs I was printing with linoleum earlier.Type drawer
Big wooden lettersEveryone in the class has their quote on the press.The type is held tightly in place.Our first print was bound to have a few mistakes.
