I did a business card on Crane Lettra 110# and another on Reich 236# with that same PMS 812. They are actually a lot brighter in person.http://bunnybearpress.com/portfolio/businessandcallingcards/bunny-bear-press-qr-code-cards/If you want to go fluorescent I would recommend a whiter paper to get the br…[Read more]

Here is a link to a couple of journals I made with PMS 812 and 540.https://www.etsy.com/listing/161460553/letterpress-blank-journal-pinwheelhttps://www.etsy.com/listing/161459053/letterpress-blank-journal-heart

Currently I am printing on a 10×15 C&P and don’t have plans at this point to print on a Heidelberg. Do you have a Heidelberg that you don’t know how to use? Or were you hoping to learn first and then purchase your machine?You may want to contact either Pratt or SVC and see if they can point you in the direction of a teacher. Adina

I am just wondering if you ever came up with a solution for this?Thanks!Adina

Thank you everyone. The weird thing is, I think it is my rollers on my C&P. I even took a ton of ink off the press and was still getting the splotchy coverage. I tried it on my 3×5 Kelsey and the ink coverage was great (no impression to speak of though). I had some soy based ink custom mixed b…[Read more]

This one was a 12×18 C&P. I am going to keep an eye out for either a 10×15 or 12×18 and see what comes up here in Seattle.  Thanks again!Adina

I had heard of using Crisco but not baby oil. I had heard that Crisco is really good at getting the ink off the rollers and keeping them from drying out between print runs, but is not good to have on your rollers when you are first putting ink on the press (they use mineral spirits for the quick…[Read more]

This seems like this information would be a great topic to cover for the greater good on the LOLP website since there are a lot of tabletop press owners, myself included, that wont be able to attend to the conference.

But I ran across these things called roller bearers which sound like they might be just the thing you need for your ink coverage problems based on your description.

I had not heard of this company before and I am interested to see what the difference is.

If you work with a printer who does more automated things they can probably even have them made with adhesive.

This will be my first press and I want to make sure I am getting one that will serve my purposes for years to come. I would love to get a C&P but I am having trouble finding one. I guess I will just keep hunting.

That process looks very interesting. I wonder how she achieves the impression with unlimited colors? Do you know what a Compression Plate System is? Her website is a little vague. Thanks for the tip on the ink jet. I have an Epson 1400 too and I will start to test some of my designs.

Have you tried this? Its a great idea I have also toyed with, I may have to give it a run through my ink jet to see!

So for example if you are having your paper cut to A6 and A2 then it would be $20.As an update, I decided to go to Kelly Paper to get my paper cut. They were super nice and actually only charged me for 2 of the 3 cuts they did. 🙂

First on my list of equipment is going to be my very own press so I wont have to rent time at another studio :)I think I will just have to up my quantities enough to make the $10 worth while. (Those $10 fees are going to add up quickly!)

It appears to be working, though I haven’t hooked it up to an air compressor yet. I have a friend who is going to tinker with it a bit. I think I am missing the piece that holds the plates or type in place. Do you know what I can get to fit into the slot (on the photo I am uploading) that can hold a copper die?
