Here is a part of a very common printer’s tool. Can you identify it? Here’s a hint: rhymes with coin fee.

This utterly charming & happy design is a Bella Figura exclusive named Shelby. Printed in Mediterranean & Papaya inks, the swirls & twirls in tactile letterpress glory make fun for all ages!

The sleep machine is running, unaware it is being watched. Long out of production, this Heidelberg 10 x 15 windmill letterpress still runs smoothly & precisely with the loving care it has been given over the decades. If you listen closely, you can hear it breathing & purring as ink is pressed to downy white cotton paper.

Bella Figura‘s Lace design features stark black ink sculptured with pillowy cotton paper pushing forward against the debossed areas.

Using Smock gift wrap papers are sure to fire up your craft ideas. Go forth, be creative.

One of my favorite parts of printing is watching fresh ink bloom on the rollers. Royal blue comes up nicely. Yes, to the printers out there, I did tighten up the rider roller. Laypersons that’s the silver one on top that carries extra ink and didn’t ink up like everything else.

This is a souvenir diecut piece from a very special birthday party. Now we can remember the good times all year.

It’s Tim, the back of Lou & peeping Dave – all letterpress printers here at Boxcar Press!
