After our last blog post, I thought it prudent to kick off the ‘no more full color printing’ roll by highlighting a of a full color print that we just did! “But wait, didn’t the last post just say that you’re going all screen print and letterpress?” Yes, yes it did. If you dig deep, you’ll see that there are cases where we’ll print full color prints still. One full color type of job that qualifies would be a full color letterpress print. Yes, that’s right. A 4-color process letterpress print.
We designed this save the date with the idea of the recipients getting something authentically old in their mailboxes. Something not just designed to look old, but authentically printed to feel like a save the date just found after aging decades in the wedding album of a couple married fifty plus years.
Printed on 140# French Muscletone – this save the date was both a blast to design and print!
run on a 1950 Heidelberg Windmill. the front ran through 4 times (CMYK)
the back of the print is a 1-color black letterpress print
look at those beautiful halftone dots!

Philip and Juli! This is your best friend, Hiller! You know, from way back when we all went to that one college together. You forgot to mail me one of these. Don’t worry though, I’ll get my address to you.
This is awesome. Nice print job.
