Looking for the perfect gift for your beverage-sipping Portland sports fan friend? Well shoot, these aren’t for sale. But if they were, they’d be perfect… if not a little pricey.
We printed the Timbers side with two inks on 300g Fluorescent White Lettra. On the opposite side, we printed a modified Trail Blazers logo with silver and red inks on ridiculously thick 4-ply rich black museum board. Then we duplexed the two sheets by hand and die cut them to 4 inch 80pt thick circles.
Silver is one of the few letterpress inks that’s opaque; most non-metallics are transparent. So we printed the full Blazer logo in silver to create a light-colored base, then printed red ink on top of the silver for half of the logo. If we’d just printed red on black, the color would be completely lost.
