| | Letterpress Printing $70.1 Letterpress printing is a term for the relief printing of text and image using a press with a typehigh bed printing press and movable type, in which a reversed, raised surface is inked and then pressed into a sheet of paper to obtain a positive rightreading image. It was the normal form of printing text in the west from its invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid15th century until the 19th century and remained in wide use for books and other uses until the second half of the 20th century. In addition to the direct impression of inked movable type onto paper or another receptive surface, the term Letterpress can also refer to the direct impression of inked printmaking blocks such as photoetched zinc cuts (plates), linoleum blocks, wood engravings, etc., using such a press. In the 21st century, commercial Letterpress has been revived by the use of waterwash photopolymer plates which are adhered to a neartypehigh base to produce a relief printing surface typically from digitallyrendered art and typography.

Letter Press Printing
Letter printing is a technique of printing which has been in existence since the 15th century. It was used to print the Gutenberg Bible by Johannes Gutenberg. There has been a conflict of facts whether the letterpress printing was developed in East or west, this conflict arouse because there was a suggestion that the Chinese used a similar method of printing before the Gutenberg Bible was printed. Before the development of offset printing letterpress printing remained the primary technique of printing for the purpose of communicating information. Offset printing was an extremely significant technological innovation. It has facilitated printed material available to several classes of people.
Letterpress printing includes the locking of the movable part into a bed of press and then inking it, and rolling or pressing paper against it to form an impression. Before the letterpress technique the technique followed earlier to it both in the east and west was technique which made the usage of wooden blocks and carved engravings. However Gutenberg was the individual who has been credited for the introduction of a movable printing technique which could be reused and reset. This technique revolutionized printing because each page of the book was not characterized by an individual set of carved engraved wooden blocks. A faster type setter can set the page within a few minutes.
The basic components which a letterpress includes are a press bed, rollers for ink, and it also contains a tympan. Tympan is nothing but a slightly stretched drum or disc shaped on which the paper is placed. There are some letter presses where the tympan is rolled across the bed for printing, while on the other hand a flat tympan is pressed against the bed for the formation of an impression. In case you want to use multiple colors then in such a situation multiple passes of the press are to be taken or in some cases the printers also use a split fountain technique wherein several colors of ink are split on the rollers.
Letterpress printing while it is not in common use, letterpress printing though it is valued by many artisans. Incase the letterpress printing uses high quality paper and inks, then they can create lush impressions. Letterpress printing is sometimes used to create special invitations, art projects, and announcements.
Letterpress printing is more time consuming technique than offset printing. It also results in higher costs. There have been several methods developed to make the process more effective.
