			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coming soon to an alphabet near you is a typographic mash up. Once again <a href="http://spkdm.com/">Spunk Design Machine</a> created a simply amazing poster, this time for Chank. Be sure and <a href="http://www.chank.com/tour/">check him out</a> as he tours the design community.</p>
<p>And getting smashed comes easy for paper on a letterpress. Hot off our big Heidelberg cylinder press, these are some stylin&#8217; letterpress posters. Printed on a lighter weight 65lb Poptone Cover from French paper and letterpressed in two colors. I&#8217;d steal it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know what they say about too much letterpress &#8211; you&#8217;ll eventually go blind. That is exactly what happened to our design friends at <a href="http://spkdm.com/">Spunk Design Machine.</a> They created this stationery system for Ensemble with a beautiful and subtle pattern that we letterpress printed blind (a plate striking the paper with no ink). Imagine, a design for a financial company that is both fun and elegant. Which makes sense for <a href="http://www.ensembleplan.com/">Ensemble</a> because they cater specifically to creatives running small businesses by managing benefits and financial operations.</p>
<p>For the letterhead, the blind pattern runs on the text weight sheet along the top edge of the paper. That pattern also prints in color on the back of the No.10 note card (a flat card sized for a  No. 10 envelope). A pattern like this is a great way to get some color into a letterpress print job without running a big solid color block.  Since this card and the business cards are on the same paper and print the same color, we can run them together. We run a lot of jobs with a this card and a business card on the same press sheet. That gives the client way more bang for their print dollars.</p>
