Before I could say anything, I felt a big hand press down on my shoulder.

Another press, the Washington hand press, works just as well as it did the day it was manufactured in 1852, Hatch says — with such certainty you’d think he used it back then.

In one early video, Hatch is printing wanted posters on the hand press.

In the background, the mechanical sounds — the paper releasing from the hand press, the hum of the jobbing press — are so precise and crisp, it’s as if you could reach out and touch them.

If you wash it by hand, press it against the wall of the sink to get the extra water out, but don’t wring it.
