It was the texture and feel of the prints that impressed me the most. Very nice looking invites too and table cards etc

She’s lovely! But for the majority of the work we now use a Heidelberg 10 x 15 Platen. Thank you for the invite, by the way, sorry we couldn’t come down. Its been really hectic here!

Hope your doing well,

Andrew & Sarah

Hi there,

Just a little update – after my Open Studio event last weekend – showing my letterpress work – I got in conversation with a retired printer who knew all about the ‘Cropper Company’ – the term ‘to come a cropper’ relates to printers catching their hands in the printing press whilst printing – it was common to squash your fingers, trying to retrieve a slipped print. So you have a English language history as well as printing history.

Hope all is going well with the press.

Best wishes
Carl (Its previous owner)
