Pan Am Inspired Destination Wedding Invitation | Part 2: Letterpress Printing & Die Cutting

Part three will be coming soon!

[@tantununi]

@@JukeboxPrintLive I really like your videos :)) and I'm still waiting for part 3

[@theacanuto]

It makes me sad to point this out after seeing how much work has gone into this beautiful invite but I noticed during the close up at 28:09 that it says “desitnation” instead of destination! Minor detail that can hopefully just pass without many people noticing haha. Anyway, it was a gem to see this randomly on my recommended and keep up the good work! It was so fascinating and amazing to see the whole process!

[@Christopher_T_Paul]

I doubt it will be presented to the customer like this. This is an expensive job no doubt and needs to be flawless as many will keep the invite as a keepsake. Thankfully the error was on one of the simpler processes, but having to remake the plate will be an upset.

[@angelicaaquino7296]

The one in the thumbnail has correct “destination”

[@camdennorris5696]

theacanuto these prints are likely just for their marketing to show what they can do and not for an actual wedding. I would be very concerned if they just exposed the names of many many people in this wedding as well as the time place and date of someone’s wedding. It does suck that they have a typo but again I doubt this is for a real wedding. However if anyone is in Maui on august 16th 2022 you should totally go to the address and see what’s up lol.

[@Christopher_T_Paul]

The RSVP was 8th March 2020, so the job would have been sent out last year, unless the date was a typo as well? Its a bit of an unfortunate mistake and even if it was for marketing, it would have to be reprinted. Shame as the job was completed to a good standard.

This is amazing. It’s interesting to see how little ink is needed on the roller. When you put on those little blobs and spread it I thought that was barely enough!

[@johndrzal4087]

A tip from an old timer....if you’re going to dubbed bump save your arm and just run the job then just run thru again... we always did this when running gold heildelbergs hold great register ... just an tip but to each their own

[@sk8girl182]

Hello! I think he is doing the "skip feed" to eliminate the chances of miss the registration on the second pass. Those perfectionist millennials... :D At least i hope he gets paid well xD

[@johndrzal4087]

katkou I know what he is doing but register is register it’s no problem just easier in my years as a pressman I’ve run 10’s of thousands of dibble impression sheets our company ran a lot of gold ink on labels just easier that’s all... but as I said to each their own... pressman for 55 years

[@zacharydouglas4309]

Out of curiosity. Is it more efficient to send it through twice rather than do the double tap?

[@JukeboxPrintLive]

@@johndrzal4087 I find this all depends on the color of ink being printed. Sometimes a second pass can throw a color off while a skip feed won't. Our light blue would likely have gone too dark whereas a gold ink or black ink may end up looking better. Every job is different and we use whichever technique provides the best result. I certainly wouldn't skip feed any run larger than 500...

[@johndrzal4087]

Jukebox Print I agree if you were using an transparent white but you were using an opaque white since the ink was not transparent wouldn’t have changed color just make it more interested..... only works with opaque colors ... try it once you’ll be surprised

[@regalt1987]

For someone who worked in the Print industry from the ages of 16-35, it is great to see all these old school techniques being used. From 1996-98 I saw the desktop computer revolutionise the industry... strippers were no longer a position, whole darkrooms were dismantled in thrown in the dumpster and in my opinion the whole prepress process ceased to be a trade. Sure we had old windmills running still but, room sized die cutters were becoming the norm. No more cutting sheets, right from press to die cutter with even sheet weeding being completely automated. The Industry as a whole has changed more than mose in under 20 years. For a while now we've had digital variable data presses that can do a lot of this personalized work. Its good to see someone becoming a master of their craft and all of the old tricks being used on equipment that ten years ago was being left to rot or be cannibalized out back by the dumpster.

You should send your paper scraps, if you dont already have an ingenious use for them, you should send them to some resin/woodworking and other craft youtubers to use.

[@stereodreamer23]

The Heidelberg Platen (Windmill) is perhaps the most satisfying press to operate, ever designed, Other presses may be faster, bigger, or make more precise prints (like the Heidelberg Cylinders), but the "Windmill" is just a joy to watch, use, and run. I operated one for 5 years in a small print shop in WV, and I miss it tremendously. I wish I had the money and space to own one of my own, just as a "hobby press"...

[@breadbutter1170]

Just enjoy watching some one else doing the work. Love the attention to details. Can you not add another in roller for double inking? On top of the 2 rolling arm ones?

[@JukeboxPrintLive]

Yes, we could do that. We call that a "rider roller" and it helps with "ghosting" in the print more than anything. Those rider rollers are a little tricky sometimes so we usually choose not to use them.

[@dear.palimpsest]

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

[@yerwol]

Random question: When running different jobs on these presses, do you generally have one press setup for doing the printing, one setup for die-cutting and one setup with the heated foil transfer plate etc... or do you tend to use a single machine per run and swap out the various attachments and plates you need at the time?

[@JukeboxPrintLive]

We have a different machine set up for each process! It's better this way as you don't want paper bits from die cutting getting near the foil pull or the ink duct.

[@alexisunderwood2873]

[@bonsaiRocket]

for something like a wedding invitation, where each invite is the same except for different names, how would you do all the different names? would you use movable type, or would you make a plate in the style of the ones you used in the video, or something else?

[@JukeboxPrintLive]

The actual way to do this kind of printing would be on a digital press with dynamic, or variable data printing. That way, each print that comes out would have a unique name to that print.

[@SwitchAndLever]

I have one question, howcome the ink dries so fast on the page but it seems like you can take your time and load the rollers with ink, and then go and cut paper and do other steps without worrying about the ink drying in the machine?

[@johndrzal4087]

the ink doesn’t dry that fast on the paper or the press in so cases I’ve run jobs that the ink didn’t dry for a couple days most often on uncoated papers

[@lisawang9264]

I took letterpress classes in uni and was taught that the ink used for letterpressing is formulated specifically to bind to paper! :)

[@hansreynders6853]

On the press rollers the ink has volume which slows the drying. The card stock used here absorbs the ink which is part of the drying process.

[@Puffcroc]

Well those are some pretty inconclusive answers 😅 all 3 contradict each other.

[@hansreynders6853]

@@Puffcroc not really. But the process of printing ink drying depends on many factors (type of ink, substrate) which cannot be explained in a short KZbin comment. (Or why do you think college of printing takes 4 years.)
