Letterpress is a printing technique that is making a huge comeback! In this post, we’ll cover how to use a letterpress machine and some of the benefits. Letterpress machines are very different from traditional offset printers. They’re more complex and require more time to set up, but they also produce higher quality prints with less ink than offset presses.

The process for printing includes inking the plates or cylinders which act as stamps that transfer an image onto paper. Unlike offset printing, where there’s only one impression per plate, each impression on letterpress creates several copies of your print (up to 15) because it has multiple colors of ink – so you need fewer impressions overall! This makes letterpress ideal for projects like wedding invitations or business. Letterpress is a printing process that uses pressure to push an inked roller over the surface of a piece of paper. The design and text are carved into a piece of metal called type, which is then inked and placed on the machine bed. A letterpress machine operator presses two large pieces of wood together with his or her hands, sandwiching the paper between them. This pushes ink from the type onto the paper’s surfaces, creating great detail and solid blacks for beautifully printed pages.
