Press Cutting - A Working Ode To Printing - Star Printing Works
These two articles feature the Star Printing Works of Ipoh, one in English and the other in Chinese
Star Printing, in Belfield Street was founded in 1933 and has become a sort of unofficial museum of printing as it still has all the old printing machines and type etc that dates back to its inception and provides a look back into the mysteries of printing before technology took over.
Both articles have a wealth of photographs of the equipment on view.
A very similar enterprise, Wai Oi Shiah Printing Presses, closed dowm in 2017 after 100 years of operating at 25 Panglima Street Ipoh.
