Super useful video, thank you! I'd love to get into designing for letterpress but I struggle with building a portfolio as it's not easy to just print one or two items like with digital printing. I guess you need to go all in with a real project in order to build your portfolio and have something to photograph for your website...
Thanks for watching! Do you enjoy letterpress stationery???
Yes❤️
@@EntertainingU19 it’s so gorgeous !
Yes it's so pretty :)
Gorgeous process Laney gratefully appreciated :)
Hey! i have a question to start a business of greeting cards paper knowledge is must. I need to know about paper stuff.. so how should i understand the difference between papers which is good for printing.
I have a video on paper types !
Hi Laney! I absolutely love your wedding invitation, any chance I can get more information on how you created it? My wedding is later this year and your invitation is exactly why I’ve been looking for.
Hi! You can always email me for inquiries! I have a few design courses and tons of design tutorials here on YT as well!
Hi Laney! thanks so much for these videos - very informative and helpful. I was wondering if you had any actual letterpress machine recommendations? thanks so much!
I don’t personally letterpress but I know Swell Press has a letterpress course where she covers the machines in detail !
Super helpful, thanks Laney! Where would you recommend outsourcing letterpress to?
Copper Willow press is a great place to start !
Hi Laney! Do you have recommendations for paper types when combining graphic printing and letterpress? I know letterpress paper it typically heavy weight but wanted more info on combining the two methods! Thanks
You can letterpress almost any paper so it doesn’t *have* to be anything specific. I typically do use double thick if I’m gonna LP it though! Cotton or eggshell are my go tos (from printswell - I have vids on here about them)
Hey Laney! This video was extremely helpful and informative. I’m really interested in the blind impression. Is there a way I can achieve this look with a debossing tip on a Cricut, or is a letter press the only way to achieve this look?
I would say…you CAN. But you’d be limited to a single line image/text I think? So there would be no weight to any of your designs if that makes sense? I think potentially if you had it “color in” the shapes you’d be able to see individual strokes. But I don’t have one so it’s always worth a test IMO
@@DesignbyLaney thank you so much!
Who would you recommend as a good letter press company to use for printing?
Try Copper Willow Press!
What letter press machine do you use?
I outsource to a few different printers actually! I don’t have the space to do it in house!!!
Where do you get or make the dies?
I don’t haha! I don’t do LP in house but I outsource to a few different vendors!!! @swellpress on IG has some Lp education courses that you could look into!
Can you recommend any places to create a die in Australia?
