These _Racks_ are Hung over Head, either in the _Printing-House_, or _Ware-house_, or both, or any other Room that is most convenient to _Dry Paper_ in; they are hung athwart two _Rails_ an Inch thick, and about three or four Inches deep, which _Rails_ are fastned to some Joysts or other Timber in the Ceiling by Stiles perpendicular to the Ceiling; These _Rails_ stand so wide assunder, that each end of the _Racks_ may hang beyond them about the distance of two Foot, and have on their upper edge at ten Inches distance from one another, so many square Notches cut into them as the whole length of the _Rail_ will bear; Into these square notches the _Racks_ are laid parallel to each other with the flat side downwards, and the Rounded off side upwards. The _Peel_ is described in Plate 9. at l, which Figure sufficiently shews what it is; And therefore I shall need say no more to it, only its Handle may be longer or shorter according as the height of the Room it is to be used in may require. ¶. 23. _Of_ Inck. The providing of good _Inck_, or rather good _Varnish_ for _Inck_, is none of the least incumbent cares upon our _Master-Printer_, though Custom has almost made it so here in _England_; for the process of making _Inck_ being as well laborious to the Body, as noysom and ungrateful to the Sence, and by several odd accidents dangerous of Firing the Place it is made in, Our _English Master-Printers_ do generally discharge themselves of that trouble; and instead of having good _Inck_, content themselves that they pay an _Inck-maker_ for good _Inck_, which may yet be better or worse according to the Conscience of the _Inck-maker_. That our Neighbours the _Hollanders_ who exhibit Patterns of good _Printing_ to all the World, are careful and industrious in all the circumstances of good _Printing_, is very notorious to all Book-men; yet should they content themselves with such _Inck_ as we do, their Work would appear notwithstanding the other circumstances they observe, far less graceful than it does, as well as ours would appear more beautiful if we used such _Inck_ as they do: for there is many Reasons, considering how the _Inck_ is made with us and with them, why their _Inck_ must needs be better than ours. As _First_, They make theirs all of good old _Linseed-Oyl_ alone, and perhaps a little _Rosin_ in it sometimes, when as our _Inck-makers_ to save charges mingle many times _Trane-Oyl_ among theirs, and a great deal of _Rosin_; which _Trane-Oyl_ by its grossness, Furs and Choaks up a _Form_, and by its fatness hinders the _Inck_ from drying; so that when the Work comes to the _Binders_, it _Sets off_; and besides is dull, smeary and unpleasant to the Eye. And the _Rosin_ if too great a quantity be put in, and the _Form_ be not very _Lean Beaten_, makes the _Inck_ turn yellow: And the same does New _Linseed-Oyl_.
