Foldable Buckhorn crate has been great for me at NSS and NYNow. I’m old and getting out of the tradeshow business. Let me know if you need it.

Thanks, Jon. I’ll pass this on to Jessica Pokaski. She’s the creative brain behind.

Hi Katie, I understand your caution. I think it’s possible to get press help on more than the Kelsey. I met Eric Combs of Combs and Taylor at a Ladies of Letterpress conference a couple of years ago. Their first advice was to up my insurance to a bazillion dollars, or as much as I could afford. Second advice was to create a LLC so my home was…[Read more]

Yes. I use the copic marker airbrush. I guess my “easily match pantone colors” comment was not quite accurate. But they do have a lot to choose from.

postscript: if you want to talk about environmentally friendly adhesives let me know. 3M has some that are bad (Super 77) and others are not as bad. I always want to learn more. Thanks!

Hi Erika,I’m sure there is someone out there who has a simpler and more informative answer for you. But here’s my 2 cents. I’ve found it’s challenging to find good pre-made duplex stocks. I usually end up making it myself to get exactly what we want. Business cards are great because they’re small and you don’t have to do to much handwork. I’ve…[Read more]

Annika Buxman replied to the topic Proofs? in the forum Business Matters 11 years, 5 months ago
I often get asked for letterpress proofs and I tell them it costs $200 to mix the ink, set up the press, set up the plate, pull a print, clean the press, etc… (the more tasks I list the more they get that it’s a lot of work.) Occasionally someone does it, but usually I just overload them with pre-printed samples of things that are similar to…[Read more]

All of these options are great. To add to the Somerset suggestion, I love Somerset textured. Also if you like a cost effective and socially conscious handmade sheet you could try my fair trade jute paper. It’s really pillowy ands cuts/folds easily. http://demilodesign.com/letterpress/paper_jute_letterpress.html

Annika Buxman replied to the topic Edge Coloring? in the forum Design Side 11 years, 8 months ago
I’ve tried edge coloring a dozen different ways and have finally settled on using an airbrush (The Copic marker airbrush is great with virtually no cleanup and you can easily match pantone colors). I put the cards in the cutter, slice, and leave the clamp down. The clamp down ensures that the cards are nice and straight. Mask around the stack with…[Read more]

Adina, This is the same problem I always have with Stardream on the C&P. Vandercook works better for me when lightly inked. For the last few years I’ve been avoiding Stardream altogether and using Curious Metallic instead because it takes the print so beautifully. Good luck on your project!–Annika
