WHY LETTERPRESS?
When it comes to stationery, there’s simply nothing that compares to the unique, handmade quality of letterpress. Steeped in craft and tradition, the letterpress process results in stationery of exceptional beauty and authenticity. Letterpress is a printing technique that dates back to the 1400’s. Individual letters forged out of lead were carefully hand set, inked and impressed into sheets of paper, creating one of the earliest forms of modern printing.
Modern day letterpress is slightly different, but the end result is still as unique and beautiful to the touch. The design is rendered and refined and made into printing plates. Next, our printers ink their presses and print each color separately, fitting the layers together. Each resulting piece is a unique piece of art, the culmination of hours of craft and creativity. The best part of printing your invitation on a letterpress is the ecological benefits. Letterpress is one of the most eco-friendly ways to print. All the inks are vegetable-oil based with low VOCs and all the papers we use are either 100% cotton or 100% bamboo which grows in abundance and is replenished very quickly.
WHY DIGITAL PRINTING?
Digital printing is fast, affordable, modern printing technology that results in stationery with a flat surface and vivid, beautiful colors. Our digital designs are printed on cotton based paper, so your invitation looks and feels just as luxurious as letterpress. Also we partner with some of the best eco-friendly prints around. All of our printers are FSC certified and use wind power.
