BERTHOLD 1200 cps

ChrisE

Does anybody still use these Photo-typesetting machines?
I have over 120 different Glass Type face grids - are they of any value.
Worked the 1200cps for many years in the 80’s great machines.
Also worked a Berthold Diatype - that’s a different matter - what a headache!!

Take some photos for us young’uns who have never seen this great stuff. Erik Spiekermann also talks about his Diatype days like a war veteran.
