I honestly couldn't be happier with everything--the colors, the type, the invitation is just beautiful....We'll probably need baby announcements in the future (the very distant future) and Christmas cards and all the other fun stationary things a family needs — M.G., California

Exquisite Letterpress is dedicated to first impressions. Wedding or special event invitations, calling cards, personal and executive stationery, all unique, and printed with an obsession for delicious papers and perfectionist typography. When nothing but the best will do we produce printing which draws from the best of the centuries old tradition, combining the broad range and precision of digital typography with the magic of authentic materials like hand-made papers, 19th-century wood type and vintage metal foundry type. All brought together on "obsolete" platen and cylinder presses which give meaning to the term "First Impression"! "Slow Print"™ is our answer to the quick-print world. Marrying high-tech with "high touch", Slow Print produces a sensual symphony, and a depth of tactile and emotional intimacy impossible with any other technique. |
