Letterpress printing was the main commercial printing method in Singapore until the late 20th century. Typesettingsg founder and traditional letterpress educator Sun Yao Yu shares more about this printing technique, the activities of type foundries in Singapore during its heyday, and his private collection of printing type, printing presses and other equipment, some of which were salvaged from old print shops that have closed down or upgraded their equipment.
