Revival of Letterpress Printing

Letterpress printing stems from the original printing press designed by Johannes Gutenberg. The images of the printing (in reverse) are pressed onto the paper to create a positive image of the text. Often, even with the updated printing methods available, letterpress items are created one sheet at a time, which gives them a level of handmade craftsmanship that is not often found in printing today.
