The Art of Letterpress
Here is a short glimpse into our world of letterpress printing. Making the video was fun... but nothing is as much fun as letterpress! Now it's back to the studio to work on the next print job! http://www.youtube.com/user/MilestonePress

New Wedding Program Cover Design!
Here is our new wedding program cover. It is a two color red & gold foil stamped design with die cut edging. Nothing says love like a red rose. If you would like a more subtle look, the same design can be done in regular letterpress ink.

The Art of Letterpress
We also did a demo of foil stamping on a kluge and die cutting on the miehle vertical as well as a brief introduction to the Heidelberg Windmill.
Part of being a good print designer is knowing the technology that will be used to reproduce the printed piece. The more experience you have with all the various printing techniques the better designer you can be.
I hope everyone enjoyed the printmaking experience of inking freshly cast type and pressing it into our thick cotton paper. I think it my have left a lasting impression!
