We fell in love with edge painting a year or two ago — it’s such a cool way to add a second or third color to a printed piece, and you can still pantone match the edge color (we mix edge-painting inks by hand, and then apply by hand too). We flat printed these invitations for Talbots announcing their Spring 2009 collection, and then we did the edge painting too — we love the BRIGHT PINK edge painting they chose. They added the embossed pattern on their end. Printed on our cotton paper.

This is a save the date we letterpress printed for Mandarin Oriental Hotel’s new location in Boston. We flat printed the liners on our offset press in a pattern that mirrored the blind deboss of the save the date. There was rumor that the actual invitations were going to be cut in stone (!).
