Custom Stationery: Letterpress Monogram

A friend of mine wanted a custom stationery set and my mind immediately went to the idea of letterpress printing. It’s a method I really enjoy, but use only on larger print projects. I also got to share the process with her and her daughter, inviting them over to pull a few prints on my vintage Adana press. The process went smoothly and we ended up with a beautiful set of paper goods for her.

Now for the printing details. All items were hand-pulled on a vintage Adana Press. This set was letterpress printed in two custom PMS inks (dark green and dark gray) onto Ecru Crane’s Lettra paper and a Kraft Colorplan Envelope (lined with French Pop-Tone paper).
