This is a letterpress printed invitation for a destination party, complementing a custom wedding system we printed a while back. These are also designed by the groom Scott Peiffer.
The card is a thick 200lb Wausau bright white. It was printed on a cylinder press with a light blue flood of ink with a red ink mixed to match the envelope color. We printed the same red ink on the envelope flap for a tonal effect. Note the nice pop through details of the paper left white.
Hi there, a very lovely peice!
On the detail of the biplane it looks like the red is slightly off register, was this a happy accident or part of the design.
It looks intentional?
Wow…those invitations are amazing. I’m in the process of deciding on wedding invitations for my wedding and I was looking at letterpress…now I definitely want it.
Love it!
Any overprinting in our work is intentional and part of the design. Over printing is one way to add a third color to a two color print.
Thank you for all of the inspiration, wonderful blog by the way!
