Continuing to learn letterpress


I was able to complete the Letterpress II class!!! I was very surprised at the amount of information I had retained from the first class. I had so much fun coming up with the design and mixing the ink. When it comes to the ink a little definitely goes a long way!

Realising how finicky the press can be and made me, once again, be in awe of how large projects were produced on the letterpress in the past. Flexibility is a must when it comes to design and I have to be willing to make mulitple adjustments to the press in order to produce an evenly inked print that can be used.

I am pleased with the thank you cards I produced. It was great to see how different the same design looked on paper of different textures and colors. I was excited about the combination od a polymer plate design and lead type. I'm looking forward to designing my next letterpress project.

“I could not have closed on my first home without Mr, Benjamin Lee ! Benjamin and his team went above and beyond for me on this transaction. He handled my very tight turn around time with ease and was always available for me when I had questions (and I had plenty), even when he was away from the office, which I greatly appreciated! He and his team handled many last-minute scrambles with the seller and worked tirelessly to make sure that I could close before my lease (and my down payment assistance, for that matter) expired. Mr Benjamin is incredibly knowledgeable Loan Officer, courteous, and patient. I went through a couple offers on properties before my final purchase and Benjamin was there to help with each one, often coordinating with my agent behind the scenes. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to Benjamin and the tireless efforts of his team, I am now a proud home owner! I would encourage you to consider Benjamin Briel Lee for any kind of loan.Mr, Benjamin Lee Contact informaions.via WhatsApp +1-989-394-3740  Email- 247officedept@gmail.com.
