    Embossed, Debossed … What’s the difference?
    May 12, 2009

    Embossed Card

    There’s a world of difference between letterpress and embossing! People often interchange these terms, but in fact they’re complete opposites. We’re always blogging about our letterpress projects, but Dolce Press is about more than just pressing images into paper. We also can press images out of the paper, commonly referred to as embossing. Take a look at these pictures of one of our embossed pieces. Just like letterpress, embossing is another way to add dimension to a flat piece. More of our embossed work is sure to come, so stay tuned!

    2. Nope, we missed the Stationery Show (2009) this year! We have been so busy expanding the business that we didn’t even have time to stop and think about it. We have a bunch on new designs that will be hitting the press (literally) this month!
