I’m old and getting out of the tradeshow business. Let me know if you need it.

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]

I always want to learn more. Thanks!

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]

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

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]

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
