Is it just the M G that foil stamps? You won’t need to do a knock out if you use wax free ink. I can foil it for you very inexpensively, contact me

Sweet!

You will need to do a knock out. Good luck as that certainly looks challenging to print with the fine lines. Please post a picture of the finished card.

Hello Carissa,I would be happy to print your invitations. What kind of die, mag mounted to metal or PP?

Does anyone have pictures of the Mohawk and LoL “What are you making today” prints? I sent mine in but couldn’t make the conference this year and would love to see some photos of what others made.

I wonder if you slip sheeted if you would get rid of the bleeding problems?

Take a picture of your unknown type and post it. You could sell your unwanted type on here.

I wouldn’t print a logo on a wedding invite, but I would on a greeting card, although you might get by with a very small “bug” on the back of a wedding suite.

You should be able to use the ink you have. If it is oil based there will be a crisp, hard top on the ink. Just remove it with your ink knife and the ink under it will be fine. If it is rubber based there might be a some skin on the top if it is as old as you say. Same thing just remove the top skin and you are good to go. Good luck and happy printing!

The pictures of the calendar cards are beautiful! Job well done!!

Wow they must gold plate the die for that price!

Try craigslist  or wiredbids.com

Sounds like fun. Count me in.

 Bunny,It looks to be a nice press. I don’t see rollers, trucks, grippers, or gripper rod assembly. Do you have any more photos? The paint should be okay, on the platen could be of concern…it might chip off and cause unlevel areas, the thickness of the paint will definitely change the height of your .918 type high base/type/cut. “The screws” ar…[Read more]
