What
is Letterpress?
The
beginning of printing movable type on a printing press dates back
to the 15th century and is credited to Johann Gutenberg, who created
the first printed Bible in the 1450s. Letterpress printing, more
than 500 years later, still produces the most readable, elegant
text, as 3-dimensional type or a relief plate is pressed into
a high quality paper. With the commonality of computers, we forget
the origins of type faces and fonts originally drawn by a scribe,
cut and cast one letter at a time, and and set, ready to go to
press.
At Intima Press, we honor the labor and elegance of past traditions
and print each design with the greatest care and attention to
detail in this unique process. Our designs are a union of art
historical traditions and modern design. Although we love to keep
the tradition of hand setting metal foundry type alive, most of
our printing is done custom from your digital design files, translated
into a plate. We work with you to provide you with invitations
as unique as you are.
Our vintage letterpress renders beautiful impressions of your
words.
