Printer

Printer Printers printed newspapers for the community, advertisements and forms for businesses, pages for bookbinders and laws and official proclamations.

Printer In the print shop, each letter was set on an iron rule, called a composing stick, to form words and lines.

Printer Then the lines were set into cases called alleys.

Printer After the type was set, wood- handled, leather covered ink balls were used to spread ink evenly on the type.

Printer The puller pulled the lever that operated the worm screw, which moved the platen downward to press paper against the inked type.
