CREATIVE EXPLORATIONS
Last year I printed wedding invitations for Laurie and David. I filmed the process of printing the invitations on the Adana 8 x 5 platen press using lead type for the cover. The inside was printed with a polymer plate.
This short film (3m16s) shows part 1 of the printing process - printing the cover using vermilion ink on 100% recycled card.
I hope you enjoy it!
