How to design for letterpress printing
If you have never designed a piece printed using the letterpress process, you're in for a treat. What you see here is the result of pressing a rigid, raised plate against a soft paper surface. Ohio based CrankyPressman.com, founded in 1934, has a portfolio that will get your creative juices flowing.
My father worked for Meredith Publishing for years - a long-standing letterpress shop, but I didn't know anyone used letterpress anymore. Great to hear about CrankyPressman.com. Thanks!

Letterpress is alive and well. As a matter of fact, I see lots of young designers using it. One more way to make work distinctive.
