老師傅的排版桌

Editorial
《老師傅的排版桌》是一本可以用活字排版的「書」。

此書分為「排版內盒」與「圖解紀錄」兩個部分,除了記錄傳統活字排版的工法,還可透過本書了解與老師傅溝通的基本觀念,讓傳統文化與現代創新的實作體驗結合。

排版內盒
書裡的排版內盒,將傳統活字排版工具的「鉛角」轉換成「紙鉛角」,讓活字印刷變得簡便且容易取得,閱讀過圖解說明後,還可實際操作活字排版,讓傳統工法得以延續,不再只是停留在紙上的觀念,還能將活版印刷應用在我們的生活當中。

圖解紀錄
「排版」是活字印刷過程中很重要的一環,《老師傅的排版桌》以圖解的方式記錄傳統排版,內容包括老師傅使用的排版工具、工法還有傳統名片排版的步驟解說。由於「臺灣西式漢字活版印刷」來自日本,所以師傅們常用的語彙多來自日本用語,這部份也整理成「臺式日語對照表」來解釋這些用詞的由來。

另外還特別收錄「傳統鉛角尺寸比對圖」,讓讀者在使用鉛角時可以迅速對照鉛角尺寸,讓有興趣學習傳統排版的人更容易入門。

It is a design for learning and experiencing traditional typesetting. Readers can make their own prints with the inner portable typesetting box by following the detailed illustrations. The book “translates” the typesetting master’s experience and know-hows to a sexy yet user-friendly design, providing a bridge for modern audience to get the feel on traditional movable type printing, and gain personal experience from it. The book contains a portable typesetting box, a building kits and an illustrated record of the typesetting process, tools, skills and jargons. Reading through the step-by-step instructions in the handbook, readers can understand the core concepts that were once delivered only from ear to ear, mouth to mouth by old masters to their apprentices. With the building kits, the book can be manually setup into a functional mini typesetting table. For preserving and re-introducing the spirit and workflow of movable type, the DIY typesetting box presents a paper-made spacer system that allows readers to rethink and observe how a simple composition is made up, with detailed reference to the traditional lead spacer system.
