This was my first introduction to letterpress, I had seen the metal letters before, but never new the process that you have to go through to get ink on paper. The image at the top was a quote that I picked to use as content for the letterpress.
Letterpress is a really lovely technique but you can see why its being overthrown by the computer. But to be honest I want to use this technique as much as possible while its still around. But with the time it takes to set up your type correctly, fit it into the letterpress and make a successful print you could have done 200 prints on the computer. Time is money I guess.
