    Dolce Press goes International!
    April 22, 2008

    Thanks to the Internet we get to work with people from across the world on a daily basis so when Julie from Six Chancery Lane based in Hong Kong contacted us to print business cards we were glad to hear that word of our letterpress craft had spread so far around the globe.

    Here are some pictures of the card:

    A Few Good Men Business Cards
    April 9, 2008

    Here are a few nice examples of business cards we printed recently. These cards were printed with hand set type or custom magnesium plates using both stock and custom mixed inks on 110# 100% cotton paper. The double-sided card was printed with a kiss impression on the back to minimize push through.

We can also work with you to fine tune your design or create a logo and layout from scratch that will accentuate the beauty of letterpress printing.

    If you’re wondering if letterpress is right for you, give us a call and we can discuss all of the ins and outs of letterpress printing and how it can give your project a unique look and feel.

    Letterpress Business Card Sale Extended
    March 8, 2008

    First, I’d like to apologize for the lack of posts lately. We have been busy printing all week long and I can honestly say that this is the first time this week that the presses have had a chance to rest. If things keep going this way we might have to acquire another press. Who can resist buying more letterpress equipment? I sure can’t!

    Here are pictures of some of the business cards that were printed this week.

    Due to the overwhelming response to our letterpress business card sale, we have decided to extend the sale. We have really enjoyed delivering affordable quality letterpress cards to everyone who placed their order. While the sale covers 1-color text only letterpress cards, custom plates and multiple colors can be added for an additional fee. Samples are always available upon request.

    If you have questions about the sale or would like to place an order, please email or call (516-353-9284) us.
