Birthday notecards - printed with wood type
These birthday cards are for those of you who have asked me, desperately, for birthday cards. They aren't as cheap as what you can get from the village shop, but also they aren't as cheap as what you'll get from the village shop. (Y'know?)
These cards are printed the old-fashioned way. First wooden letters are set out on our proofing press. Then, they are inked by hand using British-made letterpress ink. Finally, the paper is set onto the inked letters, and the press roller is swished across like an old-fashioned credit card machine. Once the ink is dry, the back of the card is printed again with a little bit of branding for our studio. This printed similarly, but with small metal letters, cast in the UK.
