IMPORTANT - Digital printing considerations
Digital print has a shinier look than offset or letterpress. To preserve paper's natural texture, we recommend using a light ink coverage artwork where the background remains mostly white.
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.
