We have been printing gift cards and thought it would be nice to share the process of creasing cards. The photos below show some of the process.
We crease gift cards using the Squintani Model 5 treadle press. Each card is individually creased by hand and as you see in this short video, it is a quiet meditative process. Enjoy the video and take a little time out with the gentle roll, click, crunk of the treadle press.
It is always exciting making something work that was destined for the scrap heap. In this post, we test the now operational Pullan proofing press.
There is something meditatively satisfying when manually treadling a small letterpress, feeding in and removing individual sheets.
As we have been sorting out various mechanical and technical issues, printing the bird series has been delayed for seems like forever. But this week, we have take off! The first off the press are the large Tui and Duck prints, which sport one colour so far.
