Interesting Read - Josef Beery form University of Virginia will be printing copies of the Declaration of Independence on an original Benjamin Franklin Press.
Another thing I learned: The paper sheets they used back then were called "Broadsides". They were large sheets with printing on one side only (easier for a town crier to publicly read from)
Here's a link to the UVA press release:

This UVA alumnus prints history by hand
UVA Library visitors can watch Josef Beery’s replica Franklin press print facsimiles of the Declaration of Independence, and even take a copy home.
