About Letterpress Printing

Letterpress printing is a relief printing process in which inked type, engravings or cuts are pressed against (or kiss) a substrate (paper, chipboard, etc...), leaving an impression much like a stamp. The inherent charm of this method lies in the imperfections and hand-printed nature of the process, which makes each print slightly different, a far cry from the automated approach of modern-day printing, which aims for no variances from one print to the next. This definition is partially borrowed from an older version of the Starshaped Press Web site - http://www.starshaped.com

Notes on Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Unfortunately, we’re not currently doing wedding invitations. *Unless* you’ve been referred to us by one of our friends or past clients. Wedding invites are referral only. If you’re looking for Letterpress Wedding Invitations, click on one of the Google ads here on the site, as there are many quality letterpress wedding invitation printers.

We’ve been getting a ton of requests to quote letterpress wedding invitations lately. Frankly, I wasn’t prepared for the deluge that you all have sent in so far; because of that I need to set up a protocol for quoting these kinds of projects.

If you want us to quote on a job we need these things from you:

- A PDF or Jpeg of the design/s
- Quantities needed
- Date needed
- Name of paper you’ve selected
Also, it’s best for your graphic designer to contact us directly, as there’s a lot of jargon in printing and an experienced graphic designer will save you loads of time, trouble, and money throughout the process. You can contact us via email matt (at) thehandworkpress (dot) com.
