Experimenting with Letter Press



We made set our type yesterday so today we put it in the press
and started to experiment with stocks and padding to see which
worked the best.
The technician told us the smoother the stock the better the 
print we would get.
We took notes as we were going along so we wouldn't forget what 
we had tried and what had worked best.
The stock that worked best was the 300gsm stock we had also
used for the embossing. We mocked up a business card with 
the letter press side and the embossing and it had a really nice finish
and feel, the weight was right and it worked well together.
We are going to head back on monday to print some more ready
for creative networks!
