Lovely Thank You Letterpress Cards Names and Hearts

Finished cards after printing first with blind debossed letterpress type and then a second printing with beautiful red hearts. Blind debossing combined with an inked image or by itself makes a marvelous impression with a wonderful tactile and visual sensation! 

Letterpress Printing Names and Hearts Aloha Letterpress

A customized order that is wonderful for wedding thank you notes, Valentine's Day, or anytime of the year! 

A custom printing the other day with blind debossing of names and a beautiful red heart.

Step 1: Handset Dorchester metal type into the chase with wood furniture and locked into place.

Step 2: Placed the chase with metal type onto the larger press.

Step 3: Printed text with blind debossing, inkless impression.

Step 4: After fitting heart ornament into another chase, I inked the smaller printing press disc and rollers with deep red handmixed ink. After determining the exact registration for the heart between the names, I printed the deep red hearts.
