This past week, we went to a local letter press company, Sideshow Press on Cannon Street. We got Sideshow to print new business cards for Balzac Brothers. Letter pressing is a forgotten art, where they use thick 100% cotton paper which is rolled over metal plates. This presses ink in to the paper,instead of just printing on top of it, making a textured aspect to the card.
In these pictures you will see the actual Letter Press, the rolling cylinder that has been dabbed with green ink for the business cards, and the final product! These cards are truely unique. Thank you Sideshow Press!
