Prohibition Letterpress Piece

We were cleaning out a storage room and came across boxes of antique Letterpress cuts(plates)from the early part of the 20th century just collecting dust. Immediatley this piece stood out as something we should put back on press showcasing some great artwork from around 90 years ago. Heath Printing dba DeFrance originally printed with these plates we assume for a campaign against prohibition.

Job Specs:
This piece was printed with 2 letterpresss cuts made from a lead plate mounted to a wood base. Even with the age of the cuts we were able to get a really nice impression into the sheet showcasing the tactile style of Letterpress.
Paper- 300 gram Somerset made from 100% cotton
Ink- 1 pms color + Dense Black

Die Cut Recipe Cards

A new project for Sycuan, they wanted to feature 5 of their recipes for their guests to enjoy. Each card features an appetizing picture on the front and the recipe on the inside.
Printed 4 color 2 sides + a Matte Varnish on 100# Jefferson Velvet Cover and finished off with a custom die cut + score. Matte Varnish seems to be getting more popular as designers move away from the typical flood gloss coatings. Sycuan is always creating amazing projects and we cant wait for the next one.

Large Format Signage

Something new we are offering along with our large format digital printing is signage. The client is opening up a new location in downtown SD and wanted signage next to his front door, something different.
This 1 off piece was printed at 16" x 48" tall full color with bleeds and then mounted to foam core. It came out great and the client loved it. Pics are from my phone excuse the photo quality.

Our large format digital press will print photographic quality with archival inks meaning the color will last maintaining a beautiful image for years.
