The New Full Color

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!
