the video quality 👌

It was a Chandler & Price letterpress that got me hooked on printing back in high school. It was a craft back then. Nice to see these presses still in use!

door to door on my bike

it kept me out of trouble as a teen

i sold business cards and wedding invites

3 years i was given a 6x9 pearl press through a friend at my church

at age 14 my father gave me for Christmas a 5x8 Kelsey hand press 1957

Interesting video. When you double printed the black, could you have just run the stack through twice or is the best results obtained by the method you used?

looks ok. but you guys just love to punch it through the job, her email and name needs the impression backed of embossing it like that also damages the form. But it all very heavy too heavy when i was an apprentice it would not be acceptable that's it is now is sad

bit heavy with the impression there getting slur damage the plate, impression should not be seen. Double rolling brings back memories.

Thank you for this video, isn't there a technique to emboss a detail on a card without showing to the other face of it, I mean emboss to one face without the deboss?

Hope you don't mind me asking, what is the model of this letter press?

A business card fit for Patrick Bateman… to die for one might even say.

I love your work

The machine sounds like Darth Vader having sex!

A couple of light blobs of machine grease, or even better, Vaseline, between the emboss die and the counter force to hold the force in place when transferring the force, instead of messing about with tape, is much easier... I spent many years struggling with tape till somebody showed me this way... Great video

The final result was beautiful!! I just love this channel… dream job (I say as I sit on my couch watching you guys do all the work.. I’m sure this took much of that!)

We had two of these in our print shop class in junior high. NO! Nobody ever got hurt. Respect.

Muy bueno! Soy del sur de argentina! Alcance a ver en la imprenta donde trabajaba el proceso similar para las cajas de chocolates con la impresion en offset y luego en la troqueladora las marcas de doblado y corte simultaneo! Igual teniamos una heildelber igual automatica y ahi hacian las tarjetas de Navidad con foil de colores para las estrellas o arbolitos etc con una rama (o molde termico) que hacia que el foil caliente se adhiriera a la cartulina! Muy buena la tarjeta con el relieve en seco para la marca!!

How do you go about sourcing your paper/card stock for printing? I've been having a hard time find distributors for super heavy card stocks

I just started a massive collectible card project that has multiple games within the cards. I've been stressing in figuring out how to print everything after multiple custom card game mfgs laughed in my face, 100% deserved, cause like who the hell requests a 4M unique card deck?! but now I've been able to factor out die stamping and offset printing. I just wish I could use that lovely black card stock on my card project, it looks incredibly delightful to hold.

Painstaking perfection. Great project

Way too technical. The professional knowledge is mind blowing. Give the guy a raise.

Wow… great method! Nice to see you guys have returned!

are foils only capable of being monolithic? Is it possible to print a image or photograph in foil and then stamp it?

Such craftsmanship, the way printing was meant to be! These business cards are very beautiful,

Hello ,why you go CYM, when M after Y you have "Warm" picture. If i dont want to clean inkbox too much i go CKMY Or I go YMKC , only one clining inkbox from K too C.

as a new printer i always love to see your videos! i just rescued a windmill press but don't have it up and running yet. i'm new and had no idea that i would be able to emboss on it. may i ask where you get the plates made, or if you do the platemaking yourselves could you share that process in a video sometime?

Nice job! Nice register. You know you've won when you come to the trimming and, as you can see you're cutting the trim marks in half. 👌

beautiful works! one question: what kind of solution do you use for cleaning the rollers? it seems to be done quite quick and clean!

How did the machine guild the rounded corners? It didn't spin them, does the heated platen flex somehow?

May I ask what the machine is? That is doing the die cutting.

Although it’s been 3 yrs since it was made I have to say it was really well done. I started at a local chain of newspapers and eventually aended up in the IT department. I started in 78 and they had a Heidelberg they used for commercial printing wchich was a niche part of the production but as time went on it was phased out. I was more concerned with the daily press runs of the newspaper so it was pretty interesting to me to see the more upscale printing that is done on these presses

Thx to this i now know how they make ultimate rare yugioh cards… sad that i cant do this at home without spending thousands of dollars for it :/

Hello! What kind of paper is this work printed on? I tried to print letterpress on smooth paper but failed...

👍Well done demo - I taught High School Graphic Arts for 36 years in Michigan. Lakeland High School, White Lake. 🚂

Thanks a b d keep up the excellent work.

How many years will take me to learn it

Adding a steel roller between the two inking rollers will stop ghosting. I know this is letterpress, however, there seems to be too much impression over all, and you should have used the ink duct for that amount of ink; this would have stopped the need for double inking the plate. If I had been caught doing any of those things, I would have been given a warning. But to do all three, then I would get the sack!

Why does it say "Pan AJ"? And to mix the inks accurately, they should be measured and not left to guesswork.

looks like really nice paper, could i get link where to buy it so i could find alternative in my country?

The K in CMYK does not stand for Black, it designates Key, as in Key Block or Plate. A small technical point for a very well-done presentation. Thank you.

I use color laser printer

He didn't put the ink on evenly, and that's a "proofing press", it's not designed to print mass copies.

Do you make your own plates for sculpted embossing? This is beautiful!

I need your help orthotec CN series printing machine how to operating video

If you have 4 of those machines can you dedicate each color to one so you don't have to keep washing ink and the whole process might be faster.

So cool. I used to run a letterpress, hearing those sounds brought back memories. Click clack woosh click. Repeat, for hours on end...
