We have finally printed our first order of letterpress business cards. A friend of mine at work has wanted us to make him business cards since before we even had our letterpress. It was a good project to get under our belts; we had fun and we learned a lot in the process.
Both sides of the card use black ink, so we did both of those passes first.
Then we cleaned and re-inked the press with blue ink for the logo.
We printed the cards on Crane’s Lettra 200lb 100% cotton paper. It worked great with the photopolymer plates from Boxcar Press and gave a deep impression.
We are very happy with the way the cards turned out, especially since it’s our first time doing front and back and multiple colors on one design.
