four belles + two aspens


Our first collaborative effort with Four Belles Ink is a success. What fun it was to help find a paper to compliment their beautiful design and overcome the challenges of printing a tri-fold totaling almost 15 inches on our smaller 8x12 inch press bed. The chosen paper, steeped in German papermaking tradition since 1584, was duplexed with a texture rich mocha colored paper from the same mill, introducing the natural setting for the event to come. The double aspen leaf illustration allowed the impression of letterpress printing to really shine through. We truly enjoyed this project and look forward to teaming up with Four Belles Ink again.
