Transcription

Deaf printers utilized printing-specific American Sign Language vocabularies to describe and discuss the day-to-day work at The Washington Post. These signs were passed down, from one printer to the next, in the work rooms of residential deaf schools and in printing shops across the country. The language used by Deaf printers included terms that are specific to the field of printing, such as linotype, mark-up, pagination, slug, paste-up, and dupe. As new technologies reshaped the practices of printing, Deaf printers developed new signs to describe their work. These signs were learned "on-the-job" from one another and passed down between generations of printers.
