The article, titled 114 new pro tips for type was published in issue 167, October 2009.
I finally got my hands on a copy this week and here are some pics. Enjoy.

Melbourne Museum of Printing (MMOP) is a working museum of typography and printing.
Since 1993 the museums focus has been on the retention of traditional printing methods and
equipment. Initially established as the Australian Type Company – containing a comprehensive
collection of printing presses, typesetting machines, types and other print-related artefacts in
addition to its Monotype-based typecasting machines and matrix collection. In due course, it
became the last remaining typefoundry in Australia and should, by commercial norms, have
closed in the early 1990’s when proprietor Michael Isaachsen turned the whole collection into
a non-profit museum.
