Letterpress Project CALL TO ACTION
Hello Friends. I NEED YOU!
okay, my press is in desperate need of new rollers and trucks. cost = $400. To reach my goal i am going to propose a collaboration with other designers/artists in need of some biz cards or the like. here are the rules and the cost.
1. I have 10 spots open. They will fill up fast.
2. Cost is $40 per spot, plus your plates and paper cost (for business card it’s approx. $25 for plates and $30 for paper)
3. 1-2 colors/ 1-sided. (if you want to go 2-sided it’s a pain, but contact me and i’ll talk to you about additional specs and pricing mr. fancy pants). * i have most colors, i can’t match pantone, but i’ll mix up something close. i also have silver & gold.
4. Quantity is up to 250 (you think you want more, but you don’t, trust me). if you truly need more we can discuss.
5. You have to be here to help run your job once i get it set up. (this is the collaboration part, hence the low cost, and so you can see how much work goes into this style of printmaking.)
This is a screamin deal on a handmade product AND you get a free lesson, but i love collaboration and i needs my new rollers.
thats about it. attached are some images of my sad doctored trucks and my old rollers. contact me here or via facebook and we’ll start filling spots.

two good questions raised:
1) no moveable type, i’m not yee haw or hatch show print. that’s impossible stuff to get. this is photopolymer plating, so whatever you design is what you’ll get, just no photos or large flooded color areas.
2) we will be printing 1 or 2 peoples cards in a session, that’s the most we can get out of a session depending on the intricacy of your design.
