MORE ABOUT LETTERPRESS:

Letterpress is a traditional printing technique that has been used for centuries to create printed materials such as books, newspapers, posters, and cards. In letterpress printing, a raised surface, usually made of metal or polymer, with the text or image to be printed is inked and then pressed onto paper, leaving a deep impression.

The process of letterpress printing involves several steps. First, the text or image is set in reverse on the surface of a metal or polymer plate, with the raised areas being the parts that will come into contact with the paper. The plate is then inked with a roller or other device, and the excess ink is removed.

Next, a sheet of paper is placed on the press bed, and the inked plate is pressed onto the paper, transferring the ink and creating the printed image. Each color in a design requires a separate plate and run through the press.

The resulting print has a unique texture and visual appeal due to the impression left by the raised surface of the printing plate. Letterpress printing is often used for high-end stationery, business cards, wedding invitations, and other special occasion printing.

While letterpress printing has largely been replaced by digital printing in commercial printing, it continues to be appreciated and used by artisans and craftspeople for its distinctive look and the tactile quality of the printed materials it produces.
