Awesome Letterpress

As color arrangements go, we’ve always loved the smooth transitions that occur as hues blend to form a gradient. In this wonderfully satisfying clip from Jukebox Print, watch nine ink globs gradually mix at their on the platen of a printing press in preparation for the paper to roll through.

The Fall 2020 collection from Field Notes includes captivating covers from nine independent letterpress shops around the country. Each shop was provided with a different color of paper, and the same two red and blue inks, and asked to create a design. Learn more about the artists in the accompanying short documentary.

Oh, how we love the nostalgic, quirky goodness of Sara and Bobby Rosenstock’s letterpress collection. Handmade on their Vandercook press, with woodcut illustrations and great color combinations, it doesn’t even matter if we missed the show – we still feel connected.
