HI.

I had some card stock laying around, and being the recycler that I am, I decided to put a few sheets to good use. My original intent was to create a simple 2-color “Hi” card composed of the standard alphabet using just my vintage SignPress, MasterP. After printing up the initial cyan layer, I thought it would be an interesting experiment to see what would happen if Lt. Price printed up the second color.

Actually, composing the first layer flat on the press bed was easy. Registration for the second, though, was not so easy. My trusty Pilot came to my rescue and printed up a nice bright bold yellow “HI.” Looks lime green on press, doesn’t it?

I would have liked these note cards even more if the stock was textured. These cards can now enjoy their new life as a “Hi” card, brightening up someone’s day.

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
