Can you imagine how books, posters, and other printed matters were made before the emergence of computerised typesetting and offset printing? Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and the Hong Kong Open Printshop, Between the Lines–The Legends of Hong Kong Printing presents an array of interesting stories about two traditional printing methods: movable type and lithography. In addition to showcasing the lost art of traditional printing techniques, the exhibition illustrates how young designers are injecting their creative ideas into a new generation of printed products, reviving and transforming the tradition of movable type and letterpress printing.
