STET — THE GALLEY™ · the proofing press

HOW THE PRESS WORKS

⁋Bring your idea in a few precise words — a label, a menu, a cover. That is all the press needs.
⁋Words that must be perfect go in The Ledger, typed exactly as they should print.
⁋Want a line in a certain spot? Name the place: top left, center, bottom right.
⁋Press. Check your proof, change one thing, press again.

Every ? on the machine holds one sharper tip.

references carry the layout

References carry the layout so the model never guesses it. Up to 16 — three sharp ones beat sixteen mixed.

What the sheet is: your shop ticket — the type you've set and the locks the press holds against drift. Your words go in letter-for-letter (red ink); the locks pin everything else in place.

THE MAKEREADY™

STET RESTRIKE PRESS · No. 002 · ARRIVING AT THE COUNTER

In the old shops, makeready was the patient craft of patching, shimming, and evening the form until a poor impression pulled perfect. Machine No. 002 does that for pictures.

A product shot too rough to list. An old photo you want sharp and large again. A label that won't read. A menu picture taken in bad light. Bring it — the image comes back rebuilt, and every letter on it is read back before it leaves. The Restrike™ — proofed, not guessed.
