Our postcard swap turned out to be such a nice big stack of cards – I’d suggest another exchange in that size, or similar, to make it manageable (I think they’re 4×6?). I like the idea of a poetry card… does that make it a mini-broadside?

It was a long time ago, so I’m not sure where I heard this, but I thought that offset inks could also be used on letterpress presses. Maybe you can confirm or deny this, Charley, when you look into it. Thank you so much!

Thanks for letting us know you’re out there.A question – is anyone offering smaller amounts of glow-in-the-dark ink for letterpress (for a smaller price?). All I’ve found so far are large cans of offset glow-in-the-dark that’s just too expensive for this little shop.
