One of the questions I’m most frequently asked is, “What is letterpress?” Simply put, it’s a printing process in which ink is applied to a plate with raised characters and then pressed against paper. What makes letterpress extra special is that the process is done by hand on a very large, very old machine ONE COLOR AT A TIME!
This video by LunaLux does a great job of demonstrating how letterpress works. If you have any additional questions about the process, please leave a question in the comment section below!
