World's Best Heidelberg Windmill Platen Press Demo Video

A recently engaged friend asked me to explain how our letterpress wedding invitation printing press actually works. Trying to demonstrate the process using my hands, a couple pieces of paper and a whole lot of descriptive words, I quickly remembered what my high school English teacher used to always tell me: “Show, don’t tell.”

This trip down memory lane not only made me realize how silly I must have looked trying to play charades as a printing press, but it also got my cinematic juices flowing.

I decided to create a short but sweet video that shows the details behind the movements, exquisite German engineering and printing process of a Heidelberg windmill platen press.
