S1E2 Lost Art to Luxury

Nearly a lost art to the epitome of luxury in the print world. When technology we have becomes outdated, don’t usually just keep it around (especially when it takes up large spaces!). As printing technology developed, presses were left behind. Fortunately, passionate artists and dedicated craftsmen helped keep this artform alive. What makes letterpress so special? This is a conversation we have with most of our clients – and to anyone who wonders why we’re so obsessed with letterpress. During this episode, you’ll learn a bit more about what makes letterpress more expensive, how it compares to other print methods and ways to make your letterpress work for your design project. Don’t forget to join the conversation on Instagram: @hotoffthepresspod Quotable Moments: “Your printers do not define you. You can spend as much money on them as you want, but they won’t make you a better artisan, or give you more time.” At 20:41 “What letterpress has the power to communicate is ‘this is something we’ve thought out, that we’re committing to, that we’re dedicating our time, our money, our energy to’ and you can feel that, you can see that on the paper.”  at 30:48 Links & Resources: The perfect wine to record a podcast with is the Ingrid & Julia Rosé by Tres Sabores ;-) https://www.tressabores.com
