Description

The printing press is used to print books from print press plates. Used in combinations with the Typesetting Table. The Printing press is to be operated without a GUI.

The Printing Press works with the reading glasses / monocle to help display information about what items are on the printing press and the quantity of those items.

Usage

The printing press requires 3 things to operate.

First you need a print press plate, which is created with the Typesetting Table. See the Typesetting Table for more details on that. With the print press plate in hand, right click the top of the printing press in the center and you will see the printing press go into place.

Second you need some black dye or black ink. Which the ink in hand, right click the top of the printing press near the back of the block, where the ink plate is. That will place the ink on the ink plate.

Third you need blank books. With the blank books in your hand, right click the top of the printing press near the front left side to place the books on the table. There is one exception, if you are printing an Atlas copy, the blank book must be an empty atlas with no maps or inventory items.

To remove items from the printing press, sneak click with an empty hand on the top of the press.
