Letterpress or Proper Printing

 

To me there is only one really true and correct method printing. And that is the method of Johannes Gutenberg, with real moveable metal type. It was also the method used by my father at his print works in Wood Green, H. Miller and Sons. My father was one of the sons.


I had created an invite for a friend and needed to get them cut from A4 to A5, so I went to see Peter at Studlands Printing Company in Newmarket. He is one of the last of the true letterpress printers in this part of the world.

But then letterpress is so much better for proper personal stationery, like letterheads and invitations.
