ENVELOPE
OPTIONS
OPTIONS
letterpress
digital print
Instead of paper being fed through a printer, solid colors of ink are applied to plates that have been cut with your design. The plates are then pressed into the paper, leaving a deep impression of ink.
Digital printing (also called flat printing) is the typical print method you probably think of. Much like your printer at home where the ink is printed directly onto the surface of the paper.
