About this work
Night invitation printing. Only the alley letterpress shop is still warm. Serina will not let the platen cool. She is married. Her husband's design team is on deadline two rooms away.
“The ink isn't dry yet.” Leave by the wash-up and the night ends as cleanup. Stay at the press bed and it stops being typesetting.
