Talking of printing: a new publication from the AEPM

Talking of printing

A selection of talks given between 2005 and 2020 at the annual conference of the Association of European Printing Museums

Talking of printing offers a selection of talks reflecting the diversity of speakers at the AEPM’s annual conferences and of the wide range of subjects they have addressed over the years. It also reflects the extraordinary variety of printing collections and surviving techniques that are to be found in Europe and beyond (more than 250 printing and print-related museums are currently in the AEPM’s ongoing timeline of printing museums).
