We still print some letterpress, our films https://youtu.be/D_nnIPunXPE are not as arty as jukebox print, our machines are dirtier and the shop is dusty as heck (set off powder gets EVERYWHERE) - we do foiling, and die-cutting, digital and offset too…

As befits a graphic design video, both the American Psycho movie and the talking head portions are in focus… Shame about the excerpt from the musical, but the live theater industry hates video with a passion.

Thanks for the tip, looks like the weekend workshops would be a great way to get some hands on time with one of these magnificent machines.

Ironically when letterpress was a mainstream printing technique printers would frown on deep impressions, the plate was merely supposed to “kiss” the paper. Today’s exaggerated embossing is anachronistic.
Most letterpress shops use Vandercook presses and other equipment that is often over a century old. Conversely the plates themselves are usually high-tech photopolymer engraved with a laser.
