Cool! I’m in for postcard coasters. Where do you get the blank stock? 

Ah, I get it about postcard coasters. Yes, I would be interested in doing them.I was first thinking that these would be 4x6ish coaster-paper with rounded corners. . .still drinking coffee 🙂

Maybe, depending on what you would like to do.How would you do a calendar?And what are postcard coasters? Where do you get them?Basically, I’m interested!Ren

I got a 19. I’m not very good in the greens and blues on the monitor. I wonder how we would do with printed color chips? And thanks for the link to ink mixing. It is a good answer to a discussion question I had posted last week (?) (time flies).

Hello all,Thanks for your answers, especially about the scales/balances. Do you use a scoop or freezer paper on the scale or just clean the scale off when done? I understand the proportions and thank you for the refresher course on that. This is why I love Ladies of Letterpress!Ren

Aw! It’s the same weekend as the Book Arts thing in Silver Spring, MD!!!Too bad.

Thank you everyone. I think what happened was that I had sections of my paper covered with another ink and it was those sections on which the Vanson wasn’t drying because it couldn’t get absorbed into the paper. So, here’s another question: when doing two- or more-color work, what inks do you all use?

Hi, all.I decided to try Lettra on this project; haven’t used it before, and it seemed good for a two-sided thing. We’ll see how the experiment goes :-)Ren

Thanks to both of you for your help. I’ve run some proofs on my Nolan successfully. Then the form is going into my little Kelsey and I’ll see how much building up I’ll have to do, if any.
