Introduction to Letterpress: Business Cards
So I took Introduction to Letterpress: Business Cards at the San Francisco Center for the Book, sfcb.org, and this is my net — not so great, I blame my own indecision for the meager yield. But I now have a better idea of what works, and what doesn't, to apply during next weeks Introduction to Letterpress: Note Thank You Cards. Most excited to take Printing Business Cards from Photopolymer Plates at the end of the month and qualify to rent time on the Center’s platemaker. Here I come complete, reasonably priced, and fun to develop business system!
