The International Printing Museum, located in Southern California, is a dynamic non-profit museum devoted to bringing the history of books, printing and the book arts to life for diverse audiences. The staff and volunteers make it their mission to take one of the world’s most significant collections of antique printing machinery and interpret it for today’s audiences through working demonstrations and theater presentations.
Since 1988, we have reached over 400,000 people, both those visiting the Museum and those who have experienced "Museum on Wheels", the Museum’s innovative school outreach program that features a mobile colonial printing shop, teaching the history of books and printing, great inventions and inventors that helped make our world such as Ben Franklin. The International Printing Museum has been recognized worldwide for the size and importance of its collection and for the successful and creative approach to interpreting the collection for the community and the world at large.

Hi IPM,
Any updates? The last I see is from March 1...
cool. No problem. I'm fine with waiting, just wanted to know what's up with everything. Thanks
Hey Charlie,
We've had a whole bunch of delays but we're working very hard on everything. We have an update in progress that we will be posting very soon. Thanks for your patience!

Are the rewards going out by the end of february by any chance?
Hey could we get an update kinda soon, to see if the January deadline is going to be met? Thanks
Is there any way you could send out an update with a bunch of pictures of the machine and the museum? I'd love to see them
I love the Ludlow..it is a great typographical tool plus it gives you hands on feel of line casting!
Haha, Doug, you may be the only person who would have put two and two together about that. :)
Nice cheeky little line you have set there, "Ottmar Mergenthaler" - ha!
Absolutely love this museum and the people behind it!
Anyone who has visited the International Printing Museum knows these guys are the real deal. They will protect and share this stuff for generations.
