Letterpress Printing

Letterpress printing, a traditional relief printing method, is prized by aficionados of fine typography for the quality of impression it can achieve. The slightly debossed, tactile aspect of a well-printed letterpress sheet is very appealing and has a unique feel of authenticity and quality.

Wedding invitations, stationery, special announcements, business cards, marketing packages and limited edition books are some of the items, which can be enhanced by the special qualities of the letterpress printing method. Letterpress printing is particularly well-suited for printing on handmade and fine art papers in limited runs.

At The Lumino Press printing is done primarily from photopolymer relief plates, created from digital files. For certain special projects we also print from handset metal type.

These specialized printing services offered at The Lumino Press can be used in numerous ways in the design of printed pieces and books, adding elements that bring a deeper level of finish and quality.
