I’m working on a very large business card reprint job this weekend and have been chained to the guillotine cutter all day. As I mentioned in a previous post, when cutting 100% cotton paper you have to trim all four sides with the clean edge of the blade in order to avoid that fibery-looking [...]

This week I printed some identity items for Brevard Neely, a cool client in Denver, Colorado. She went with a very nice dark plum color on natural white paper stock. The ink combination included process blue, rubine red and a little black.

I recently printed a very nice invitation designed by the bride and groom, and they purchased a special Italian handmade Rossi paper with deckled edges on all sides.
