SONG of the JOBBING PRINTER

 

 

I’m an offset litho man

& prefer to be sheet-fed

those who print by letterpress

are better dead than read

 

you’re welcome to your doctor blade

& your photogravure plate

it may pay in the long run

but it’s something that I hate

 

I love my rubber blanket

my halftones & my screens

SMALL offset IS BEAUTIFUL

for printing magazines

 

This commemorates my time at the London College  of Printing (circa 1979). I used to commute from Brixton to the Elephant & Castle.
