Hot off the press - A Good Affair Wedding & Event Planning
3/3 cards on Crane Lettra 600gsm Bright White

The SlowPrint FAQ has been updated! Please take a look! We've tried to answer many of the questions that we commonly receive regarding invitation and business card pricing, artwork preparation, solid coverage, typography, and much more! A real time saver ;-)
If you have a few minutes, please read over the FAQ which we hope will help to clarify the strengths of the letterpress impression.
We see many designs, which quite reasonably, reflect contemporary culture with strong saturated color and bold coverage across the surface of the paper. However, letterpress, of course, is a technology from the past, really, and its capabilities are rather of a different domain - more subtle colors, with limitations on ink coverage in many cases, but crisp, perfect typography and unmistakable texture and dimension.

"Slow Print" means we typically spend more time proofing and fine-tuning than it takes to actually print the job. To produce exquisite printing requires more than just a press, a plate and ink. It requires an absolute commitment to spending the time required to adjust the ink, the rollers, the impression for each job. Like "Slow Food", we start with the best ingredients available, and we take the time to do it right!
And it doesn't cost as much as
you'd think!
Every job we receive gets the full benefit of our many years of expertise in typography, letterpress printing and type design. We work with you directly as the designer, professional-to-professional.
