note to self: spell check, please

I used MasterP to print up this set of 24 personalized note cards as a special order on Etsy. The not-so-awesome part was discovering that the name of the recipient was spelled incorrectly. Fortunately, I caught the error before shipping this sale to Miss Arnao. Unfortunately, I really liked the way the first set printed up, although I preferred the composition of the second. The first and last photos below are from round 1, which I’ll call the “practice” round, while the step-by-step photos show round 2, with the better composition. Hello, it’s Brittany, not Brittney.

orange-gold-pistachio custom mix

Last night, I mixed up three custom PMS colors for an upcoming job I will be printing within the next two weeks. I’ll probably add just a touch more black to the orange to really hit the burnt orange PMS color my client is looking for.

metallic silver on black

I’ve had several requests to print metallic silver ink on black. This was a quick test I did this morning to see how well the ink coverage performed on two sample dark substrates. Small Type INVISIBLE was set in 18pt. lead type and it printed quite crisp with even coverage, as did the huge WORD.

Word.

Thank you for visiting my design and letterpress blog. Here, I will be posting my experiments, solutions and an occasional reaction to the world around me. I hope to document my chronicles as a designer, my adventures as a typophile, and my trials and errors with one of my first loves—letterpress. enjoy
