Anotations

Scope note:

Letterpress prints characterized by soft edges and a range of tonalities accomplished in a single run. The print is made by placing a flexible, layered matrix behind the printing sheet which is then fed into the grippers to pull an impression from a type-high, inked surface. The matrix performs as elaborate make-ready that applies more pressure in thicker areas and less in thinner. Often, pressure prints introduce visual noise around the central image.
