I have the large freestanding model which is a bit more costly but they make tabletop versions that are less expensive.http://www.abcoffice.com/armcut1.htm is where i found mine.

I don’t think it would make a great folded card.I use Lettra for some of my cards and I got fed up with dealing with the scoring. I actually buy now from Astro Converters http://www.astropaper.com/ I have them cut it down to 4Bar and A2 sizes and have them score them as well. They come in nice…[Read more]

She started another thread, so if you are interested, go there from now on. You can still either contact me or Tamara for more info.

If there were 5 or so gals in there with a pretty large booth, it could be much more cost effective. I think, given the “popularity” of letterpress it might be enticing for buyers to find a ‘one stop shop’. we could then send out joint…[Read more]

Sadly I either have to go to a specialty store or order them from Europe. All those standard ‘full figured support bras’ are too small. I am starting to think I need some sort of a support brace but who wants to wear one of those things? Yuck.I don’t know what I will do if I can’t print…[Read more]

She had said she didn’t want to offend any printers and in her profile is more explicit about her practices yet when you use the term “letterpress” in your shop name and tag items as “letterpress” I feel like it is misleading. I think…[Read more]

If you haven’t taken a class there you may need to talk to them about proving that you know how to use the equipment but otherwise you just pay per the hour. I think they just raised the rental rates, so not sure what they are now…

I wouldn’t do it any other way.
