The plate is then inked and pressed on to the surface of paper. The pressing process transfers the ink and leaves a deep impression on the paper creating a three dimensional print that has a feel unlike any other type of printing. The nature of the printing demands a high quality, and generally heavier weight, paper that will not tear or thin when pressed. Rossi 1931 uses a perfect type of paper containing fibers that are soft and readily accept an impression as well as ink. As you might expect, letterpress printing is both time consuming and labor-intensive. Prints are made one-at-a-time with each print having its own unique variations of ink coverage and depth of impression. Usually, letterpress is reserved for short-run items such as invitations, personal stationery, greeting cards and special decorative papers. Beautiful tactile and simply exquisite, letterpress printing has a rich, warm feel that one can’t help but appreciate. 120gsm, 20x28 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rossi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51428563747095,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/2218\/7287\/files\/17230.jpg?v=1759724851","url":"https:\/\/rochesterpaperstore.myshopify.com\/products\/rossi-italian-letterpress-paper-hearts-in-deep-blue-and-turquoise-20x28-sheet","provider":"Rochester Paper Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
