是次講座有幸邀來資深活字印刷師傅李海寧先生，透過來自八、九十年代、碩果僅存的國泰航空「流水號碼機」珍藏，分享他昔日的開舖日常，並透過講座及現場排印示範，重塑昔日工作現場！

李師傅將憑藉其豐富經驗，逐一拆解活字印刷流程，更將於活字館示範執字粒和排版，帶領大家近距離感受活字排印技藝與昔日印刷舖的獨特風貌。

「號碼機」在印刷過程中有何用途？師傅珍藏的國泰航空號碼機又有何特色？歡迎報名參與，聽李師傅親身解畫！

李海寧先生於1959年投身 #活字印刷，曾於中上環區營運道華印刷公司逾30年。在數百尺的空間內，他的店舖包辦「執、印、切、釘」四大工序，承接過不少企業和洋行的訂單。

We are honoured to welcome veteran letterpress printer Mr Lee Hoi-ning, who will share stories from his days running the shop through his rare Cathay Pacific numbering machine collection from the 1980s and 1990s, and recreate his former workplace through the talk and a live typesetting demonstration.ᐟ.ᐟ

Drawing on his experience, Mr Lee will break down the letterpress process step by step. He will also demonstrate typesetting, offering a close-up look at the craftsmanship of letterpress printing and the distinctive atmosphere of a print shop.

What is a numbering machine used for in the printing process? What makes Mr Lee’s Cathay Pacific numbering machines special? Sign up to hear him explain in person.ᐟ

Mr Lee Hoi-ning entered the movable type printing industry in 1959 and ran Tower Printing Company in the Central and Sheung Wan district for more than 30 years. Within just a few hundred square feet, his shop handled the four main processes of letterpress printing (typesetting, printing, trimming and binding) and took on orders from many companies and foreign trading houses.
