Letter Press Printing

This is a repost from a few weeks ago. I had to move it cuz all these political whackos kept bugging me.

I went over to my buddy Chris's house and helped him crank out some posters off of his old letterpress. I had used something similar in college in a print making class, but it was so long ago that this was like a completely new experience. The posters are gorgeous, too. Each one comes off the press a little differently, so they are all unique. You have to do the colors in stages, so we did the black, and he'll do the final red ink after a couple days.

Chris has a company called Henceforth Press and does some great stuff, check it out.



Update: I just put one of these rare posters on eBay.
