Custom Letterpress and Beyond
Barry Mills served as president of Maine’s Bowdoin College from 2001 until this past July. Upon his departure, the college asked us to print his manifesto as a 6″ x 15″ letterpress poster.
Since we use a Chandler & Price platen press, which isn’t really designed for larger pieces like this, we actually printed this two-color piece in four separate runs. That way we could get a nice even and deep impression into the 600g Lettra paper.
This won an award for us! We earned a bronze in the CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) national design competition. Thought you’d like to know!
That’s awesome! Nice work.
Where can I purchase this poster?
Hi Erin, I’m afraid we don’t sell them — we printed them for Bowdoin a couple years ago. It’s possible that they’ve got a few leftovers. Alison (who commented below) might be able to help. Good luck!
