遊走在字架之間，檢字排版，操作一部部印刷機——活版印刷乃香港上世紀七、八十年代的重要技藝。儘管它早被更便捷的印刷技術淘汰，但這非物質文化遺產 依然有其無可取替的價值。進駐元創方，活字館承傳的除了是本地印刷舖捐贈的硬件如鉛活字、海德堡風喉照鏡機，以及師傅的執、印、切、釘技藝，更是中上環一帶往昔的印藝歷史。

活字，惜字。如想了解更多活版印刷的印藝，探索印藝遺產在香港的故事，並試用Adana手搖活版印刷機來印製精美紀念咭，歡迎參加我們的導覽及印刷體驗！

Wandering between type cases, typesetting with movable types, and operating various printing  presses —letterpress printing is a significant technique of Hong Kong from the 1970s and 1980s. Although it has long been replaced by more convenient printing technologies, this intangible cultural heritage still holds irreplaceable value. At PMQ, Open Press preserves not only the hardware donated by local print shops, such as movable types and the Heidelberg Windmill Platen Press, but also the techniques of the pressmen and the history of print art in the Central District.

Living words, cherishing words. If you want to learn more about the art of letterpress printing, explore the history of print art heritage in Hong Kong, and try using the Adana Letterpress Printing Machine to print exquisite letterpress cards, join our guided tour and printing experience now!
