The BPS Magazine
A bi-monthly magazine that packs a punch, Small Printer is the only magazine dedicated to contemporary and historical printing. Each issue is packed full of informative articles on technique, places to visit, presses and type.
Keep in Touch With Other BPS Members
Every other month every member of the society receives their copy of Small Printer magazine. It really is the voice of the Society and the way that many of our members keep in touch with what others are up to, and with Society and membership news.
Written by Members, for Members
Small Printer magazine is written and edited by members and we love members both old and new getting involved, whether by writing in to the editor, submitting articles and quizzes or by advertising items for sale.
In the magazine you will find all sorts of interesting and informative articles on the history of printing, unusual typefaces, how people move presses, how people BUILD presses, technical advice for beginners, top tips from people who print, book reviews and more. We regularly feature members ‘At the Press’ which is a great way to get to know how, where and why people print.
