What is the difference between digital and letterpress printing?
Letterpress is an artisan printing method descending from Gutenberg’s first printing press in the mid 15th century. We create custom plates for each order which make distinct and unique inked impressions on each piece, contributing to the charm and distinct character of letterpress printing. We print on an antique 1938 Chandler and Price New Style Platen Press which was acquired in 2008. Our in-house paper is Crane’s Lettra 100% cotton luxurious tree-free stock which has a soft, velvety finish, perfect for showcasing the impress of letterpress. Digital printing is our second option for printing which produces a flat printed piece. For digital printing we use a 30% PCW recycled linen-finish textured paper which shows depth and a soft texture to your stationery. PMS color matching is available for both printing methods.
