about our inks
Select your colors from our wide selection of signature inks above. Don't see the perfect swatch? Your retailer
can provide us with any PMS color, and we will be glad to print it for no additional charge. Working with us
directly? Send us a swatch of your wedding fabric, ribbon or whatever it is that you want to match.We will fnd
the closest ink possible. Due to the difference in printing techniques, color WILL vary once letterpressed from
what is represented in this catalog.
printing text
Some of our inks may be too light to be used for text. Do to their light nature, we do not recommend the following colors for text:
Butter, Blush, Purple Ice, Smoke, Fog, Cream, Cement and Champagne.
printing large areas of coverage
Letterpress is best suited for line art, small screens, half-tones and text. When fooding any area larger than 1 square inch in a
solid color, mottling or striations in the artwork can occur. We recommend offset printing for large areas of coverage, e.g., envelope
liners and belly wraps.
viewing your pdf proof
Once your order is placed, our production team will create a color PDF proof within 3 business days (please note that custom
calligraphy requires an extra 5 days design time). We include 3 free rounds of proofs. Additional proofs will be charged at $60
per proof. Colors may not display accurately on your computer screen or from your printer.
