Yes, I learned a lot through trial and error. My press can print any color, and almost any design I can think of if I set it up properly. I just need to hand-mix the PMS formula and voila! I think I know which machine you are talking about, but no, this one does not print foil, just inks.

In a nutshell…with this letterpress, I pretty much think of a design, use vintage letterpress blocks or have custom plates made, and once the plates arrive, I mix up my inks, insert the paper, pull the level, and out comes a print!

I’ll try to document the entire process for my next project so you can see how it works. I can even mail you a printed sample if it turns out okay. =)
