Joanne Hoerle Letterpress Cards

December 6, 2011

A simple business card with edge coloring.

Joanne contacted us to print new business cards for her – she’s a graphic designer in Nashville, TN. My desk was covered in paper this morning (not the fun kind!) so I stuck the cards on the tree and started shooting, it was a nice change of pace. The cards were designed by Joanne with a simple flower embellishing the text layout.

The cards were printed on 220# lettra in two colors: black and light green. We used one of our hand fed C&P’s, an 8×12 OS, to print the cards.

It’s always nice to slow down every once and a while and work on a hand fed platten press (from running the ink up, to setting up the guides, and feeding each piece of paper).

We printed the green first – we like to run light colors first because cleanup is easier. Once we finished printing, we cut them down and colored the edges in a light green to match the flower.
