VACUUM PLENUM for press
Here's a brief (a little over a minute and about 1mb download) movie showing the large press's vacuum plenum (used with a small shop vacuum cleaner to hold the block flat and in place during printing. Kinda dumb, but maybe you'll enjoy it?
I've dampened five of the 42x77 inch Iwano Ichibei sheets and will print my first block tomorrow! Nerve wracking! I'll try to make a little video for you then...
