5 out of 5 starsFun card for any occasion. It didn't get sent out right away, and it took a long time for me to receive it.

What is Letterpress?
Letterpress printing is a technique of relief printing using a printing press, a process by which many copies are produced by repeated direct impression of an inked, raised surface against sheets of paper.
Letterpress printing was the normal form of printing text from its invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century until the 19th century and remained in wide use for books and other uses until the second half of the 20th century.
Our presses are 100+ years old. Made from a tonne of cast iron and still going strong.
