LOL the right answer but?

What is a letter press printer? I know, but, doe4s anyone else? I am from a long line of printing dudes and can totally back this guy. A letterpress guy has to know this shit. its dumb shit, but its totally necessary for "hot type" letter press guys.

In printer's terms, we measure in points and picas. Throw inches and the metric system out the window.

There are 72 points in a inch. A 12 point typeface is standard size, so to speak...it's about the size of a letter printed in a book, or a newspaper.

Of course none of this matters, as monitor settings render all this worthless.

This is how much the DOJ knows about the interner and our business.
