Letterpress printing has impact!

It’s all about texture. Letterpress printing is a multi-sensual means of communication. Images are pressed into the paper and provide a tactile experience you can’t get from a laser printer. Combined with some of the fine paper selections available today, the centuries old technology of letterpress printing will set your communications apart from the clutter of modern communications.

At Fireside Printing Company, we’ve combined old world technology, old world craftsmanship and some modern innovations to be able to provide letterpress printing to you at an affordable price. Whether it is invitations for your special event or business cards to make that first impression memorable, we can help you get your message across with style.

Letterpress printed wedding invitations have recently experienced a comeback. Some credit goes out to Martha Stewart for a feature on letterpress wedding invitations she did on her show a couple of years back. Many of the people who watched the show caught on that letterpress printed wedding invitations are just the thing they needed to add a distinctive and elegant flair to their wedding.

Brides-to-be aren't the only ones seeing the benefits of letterpress. Every day, business people hand out and receive business cards printed the usual, modern ways of lithography, thermography or digitally. As you might expect, these printing methods do nothing to add to the memorability of the business card - or more importantly, the person handing out the business card. The deep impression possible with a letterpress printed business card is certainly different! Not only different, but it is a beautiful thing to see and feel. A letterpress printed business card will definitely be memorable.

Another press joins the Fireside stable

I picked up another Kluge 10x15 letterpress a week ago. This is a hand fed press very similar to the automatic press sitting next to it. It will improve Fireside's ability to produce shorter run orders by eliminating the set up proces for the automatic feededer. The "new" press has all the advantages of the Kluge inking ...
