CARE OF HAMILTON WOOD TYPE A few simple precautions will preserve the tigli polished printing surface of Hamilton wood type for many years. There are some fonts of Hamilton type over fifty years old giving excellent service today. To clean wood type, dampen a soft cloth with benzine and merely wipe, never saturate. DO NOT, under any circumstances, use patent metal type cleaners on wood type. Any good ink will give excellent results on bond, book or newsprint stock. For printing larger sizes on enamel stock, highest quality inks must be used on presses having adequate distribution systems. With these suggestions in mind you can expect the finest printing results from otr Hamilton wtood type.
