I am being a very bad blogger and only posting photos of recent work lately...Here are some more notecard sets available at the Sunlit Letterpress Etsy store...
Hello! I'm a fellow lurker of your wonderful blog! I just got interested in letterpress printing and hoping to start my own letterpress adventures soon! I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with letterpressing, it's such an inspiration, and I can't wait to start!
If I may, have a couple of questions...
You make it look so easy to match the ink color with the color of the envelopes! is it difficult with mixing the ink colors? I remember reading in a previous post that you only have red, blue, yellow, black and white. is that the same now and you just mix with those colors?
Are you still cleaning your press just using crisco oil? How long would you say it takes you to clean the press? Is there a waiting period between cleaning and using the press again (like if you had to do the second color)?
I guess that's all the questions I have for now. Thanks in advance if you get a chance to answer them, I understand being busy!
