Rolling out black rubber base ink on the ink stone for letterpress printing

Rolling out Van Son black rubber base ink on the ink stone in preparation for letterpress printing. This is done to create an even layer of ink on the stone and brayer. The remaining ink at the top of the stone will be gradually rolled out throughout the day as we’re printing. #unintentionalasmr #oddlysatisfying #californiahistory #powerofthepress #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing #youtubeshorts #youtube #shorts #short #shortvideo #oldsacramento
