The Madison area had a substantial amount of snow dumped upon us on January 9. As a reminder, the UW doesn’t close during weather events, so we were open as usual during that snowfall.

Before we moved to our new location, we decided to sunset some older Sakurai 2-color press equipment instead of spending the money to move them to our new location.
