Abstract
Using wooden type acquired by Dartmouth in 2005, Won K. Chung has done a superb job of printing the various faces to form a very useful type specimen book. The printing was done on a Vandercook SP20 proof press using Mohawk Superfine paper. Printing wooden type involves more inking and a great deal of pressure to get the right impression; the imperfections of such pieces are wonderful by-products. In printing this work Chung had advice from Bob Metzler, his colleague at Dartmouth.
