Letterpress printing is so darn pretty that we wanted to share it with the world – so Harold spend the afternoon filming our printer Jake interacting with one of our favorite Heidelberg Windmills as he printed some letterpress invitations — then Harold spent days and nights and days and nights editing the footage down into three really tight seat-gripping minutes of total printing beauty. Enjoy (and make sure to turn the volume up loud so you can dance along to the press sounds)!

Sure, the holidays are over in theory, but that doesn’t mean we still aren’t finding pleasure in cool letterpress holiday things….like this letterpress calligraphy ornament! Designed by one of our favorite calligraphers Debi Zeinert and letterpress printed & die-cut by Boxcar Press.
Zeb recently left us to go travel the globe (Vietnam, Australia, maybe a little China or India, etc.), but he promised to come back someday with swashbuckling tales of adventure (and some souvenirs too, we hope!). We wouldn’t let him go without allowing us the pleasure of profiling him on our blog!
