Loving Letterpress
Letterpress printing has a distinctive look and feel that sets it apart from other printing methods. The raised surfaces of the type or image are pressed into the paper, leaving an impression that creates a tactile and three-dimensional effect. This can give the print a vintage, artisanal, or handmade quality that is difficult to replicate with other printing methods. The process of creating letterpress prints involves setting type, selecting paper, inking the press, and carefully aligning each sheet of paper for printing. This hands-on process can be meditative and satisfying, allowing the artist or printer to engage with the material and create something tangible and unique.
