But there are only 28 out of 70 prints which are "perfect." This has been a fascinating process, from hand laying the type, learning to cut the block prints and then the printing process itself. The platen letter press I worked with is one shown in the picture below. It could easily have taken an 8x11 sheet of paper, much less the 4x6.
I went with the slightly embossed texture, not the perfect "kissed the paper" because, well, this is my very first project and there are so many problems with many of the prints, but I love this texture. I wanted it in at least one of my prints, in one of my editions. I wanted the texture, the feel.
