Printed on Crane Lettra 220# duplex stock. Four passes on the solid black, two passes on the text, two passes on the metallic green. Yikes.
Great client, this is his design. Nice.

We tried die cutting cards today. Makes me wonder what took me so long to try yet another task that the Windmill does well. I’ve mangled many a business card, trying to cut them on a regular paper cutter. So I emailed Bobbie at Key Dies and she graciously helped me through the process of figuring out exactly what I wanted. Once the order was finalized, the die was here almost instantly. That’s a great company.
I periodically do calling cards for my friend Hugo in Maine somewhere and this is the product of our first die cutting effort. Just look at those razor sharp and clean edges. It’s enough to give you goosebumps. Ok, so this is for a narrow audience, but I’m still pretty excited…

Well, we made it into and out of NYC intact. Stuffed with incredible food, visited by lots of new folks and old friends. Our Father’s Day cards were well received as well as our new Dog Wisdom series. Got a lot of inquiries about books for weddings and baby announcements, which we will be jumping on as soon as we get all of our orders shipped out.
Thank you to all who kindly stopped by our booth and super duper thanks to our new customers.
Here’s what we looked like, via iphone.

This is the press. It’s a Heidelberg Tiegel, commonly (and usually affectionally) called a Windmill. This press was made in the early 1970′s and adheres to the original design from the early 1900′s. I guess Tiegel was too hard for Americans to say (rhymes with beagle) and the name does aptly describe the appearance of the paper handling arms as they whirl around like (duh) an actual windmill. The Windmill mechanism is dangerous. Just ask my right wrist. It wasn’t a pretty sight but could have been markedly worse. I probably won’t be doing that particular move again. Apparently, Heidelberg fitted out special trucks with these presses mounted on the beds and drove them around to potential clients, demonstrating their capabilities up close and personal.
