| For my birthday, my son and daughter-in-law gave me some metal and wood letterpress ampersands to add to my collection. A few weeks later the head pressman at work [Ron] was cleaning out the area where we store leftover ink used on past printings. I asked if I could have one of the containers in order to ink up my collection, and Ron’s eyes lit up when he saw the ampersands. |
 |
| A little ink goes a long way. You can see some of the test prints I made of each individual ampersand. |
 |
| I arranged the ampersands in a ‘cloud’ for printing, inked them up, then used a brayer to get smooth impression. |
