Rolling out 4 colors of ink with a brayer on the ink stone in preparation for letterpress printing in the print shop. The order from left to right is red, yellow, blue, and purple. This is done to create an even layer of ink on the ink stone and brayer. #pridemonth #asmr #art

This print goes out to @Athletics who play at Sutter Health Park right across the river from Old Sacramento. To show some support for our home team, Channey letterpress printed some yellow cards with green ink on using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. #printing
