IMPORTANT - Letterpress printing considerations


  • Depth of impression will vary depending on selected paper and artwork. Text and fine lines may be pressed deeper while reversed type and large areas may not.

  • Letterpress is meant to be used for minimal ink coverage. No large areas of ink!

  • Colors are printed one at a time. Letterpress is great for 1 or 2 color jobs. Pantones only, no CMYK!

  • No halftones, no gradients, no photos. Solid colors only.

  • Vector or high quality tiff files only. No JPEG!

  • Paper, color and imprint has variations from piece to piece because of the manual nature of letterpress printing.

  • Width of lines must be a minimum of 0.25pt.

  • 6pt sans serif minimum font size. Reverse type minimum font size is 12pt or it can clog up.
