Who doesn't love the imprinted look and feel of fine letterpress inks sunk into sturdy paper?! The five century(ish) old practice is irresistible for wedding invites and the like but with few specialists around these days, it's definitely an entry for the luxury category when you're talking about everyday correspondence. Thus, many of us (OK, me) have dreamt of bidding thousands for such a press solely to have an excuse to imprint just about everything.
Fingers crossed Santa gets the memo!

For your own press, go to Paper Source or visit their website by clicking here. There you'll find the press and starter kit ($150), additional plates ($25 each), and four colored inks ($7 each). Here's hoping there's more to come!
