I too have the Lassco cr20 and simply LOVE it. My workshop participants go crazy rounding corners when they realize it takes many sheets of Lettra and so smooth. I also used hand punches, that I even tried using my foot to “round” Lettra 220…. ha, ha, ha, it was not a fun experience!Good Luck

@inkthreadpress Hi Nuria

@jacquisharples Hi Jacqui,
Nice to meet you! I have to admit I hardly ever check the LoLP page ( lazy me!) and I’m put to shame by your contribution. I’ll definitely try and mend my ways. I have checked your blog in the past, it’s good to see letterpress making a comeback in the UK!
Kind regards from not so sunny today Scotland,

I know the metal stamps hold the image better, but you can actually use a regular rubber stamp for wax seals as well. Just leave it on the wax longer and gently try to take it off… if it’s not ready to come off, leave it till it does come off easily. It could be a more affordable option than making a metal stamp. I’ve made a few custom ru…[Read more]

Hello Jeffery,Congratulations on your Adana purchase. It is certainly possible to produce some really great work on an Adana.

My husband has some sheet metal in his shop and said he’d cut out the liners. Linoleum would solve the issue of sharp edges. What a great idea. Thanks Val
