A Printers Treasure Box (I)
Dornbirn, Austria, 2012
Printing (prĭn′tĭng) – The art, process, or business of producing printed material by means of inked type and a printing press or by similar means. Typesetter (ˈtaɪpˌsɛt ər) – A person who sets or composes type (a compositor) or a typesetting machine.
I bow before Mr. Gutenberg and the masters of print and typesetting. Very special thanks to Hugo Mayer Buch- & Offsetdruck GmbH, Dornbirn Austria, for letting me indulge with Heiderberg & Co.
