Have you heard of the Movable Type Truck? Kyle Durrie, a letterpress printer from Portland, Oregon, rebuilt a 1982 Chevy Step Van into a mobile letterpress studio. The name and idea is a genius. If you don’t know, movable type refers to the system of printing that uses moveable pieces of type such as letters, numbers, and punctuation to reproduce the elements of a document. Kyle drives all over North America, teaching workshops, doing demos, and spreading the good word about printing the old fashioned way. I wish I would have known this truck existed when it was traveling around California. She still has more stops to make so be sure to check to see if she will be in your area!
