Not too many presses can print a 2.5"x3.75" press sheet. The Heidelberg "Windmill" is one such press. Here the feed board is shown set up to hold the tiny press sheet in position for gripping. This is something only letterpress can do - it's not just a fashionable way to make prints, it's still very practical.
Arturo Calling Cards are beautiful & elegant little sheets of mould made paper with four deckled edges that come in an assortment of colors, and even come with matching envelopes. They're perfect for one color printing where register to the sheet is not critical (it's possible to do multi color work on them, but there are some limitations). Here they're being used for "Web Cards" in a wedding invitation set (photos of which we will post later on), but they can be used for seating cards or gift cards as well. But really, how cool would it be to use this sheet for its intended purpose, and hand out your business card as a tiny fine art printmaking sheet in its little matching envelope?
