Personal Flat Maroon Plaid

by Rick Ziesing on January 23, 2010

These are A2 size, 4.25 x 5.5 and are flat, two color, and efficient to make. Great for those (thankfully, still) mandatory thank you notes or as a nice restrained notecard.

If you use photopolymer plates for printing, you know that if you have a dense plate, they have a tendency to curl up as they dry over the course of time. You can keep them in baggies but they still do it. So…I used to soak a paper towel in water, squeeze out the excess and place it in a baggie with the plate (without touching the plate) and blow the bag full of air and seal it and wait overnight for the plate to relax.

But… today, I didn’t have time for this little drill so I thunk to myself, what else would do it. Well, we just happen to have a garment steamer around the shop that my wife uses for photo shoots and such. Turns out you can straighten out a curled plate in about 45 seconds using the steam.

Now that’s handy.

Personal Man Cards

We’ve often thought that the male of the species has been sadly neglected by designers of personal stationery. Hey, men are people too, right? There are a few of us left who know the value and satisfaction of sending a hand written note on a beautiful piece of paper. So…for all you men (and self assured women) out there, here’s the first of our “Man” cards. These are printed on Crane Lettra paper, which is 100% cotton and derives from waste products destined for the old dump. Can you say green? We’re kind of sick of the “greenier than thou” self righteous hollering of every business that uses actual materials to manufacture their product, but we feel ok using this paper. It’s also made here in the USA, where powerful little still is. So, no trees, no dump, Rosie the Riveter and all that jazz. Do something to stop the decline of civility, instant everything and facetweet. Write a note, your mother would be proud of you.
