How do you experience making a letterpress wood type Save The Date without an 800 pound printing press? With an Ipad, of course! John Bonadies, innovator, designer, and visionary artist along with his programming team started with an idea funded by KickStarter. He wanted everyone to enjoy the rich experience of creating letterpress and his idea lead to the LetterMpress app.

The left two iamges are designs created using the app. The right two photos are prints created by Letterpress Light from the LetterMpress files.



Bonadies and his team made scans of real vintage wood type in order to create the type and design options available in the app. You get to pick out and place your wood type on the screen, right on your virtual press bed. The team at LetterMPress designed the layout you see here for us, generating the “print” below (without any ink-stained fingers!). (Check out the cool videos of LetterMpress in action.)

We took this high-res image and turned it into these deep embossed Letterpress Light prints.



And here’s the back:

Check out the app, play around, create, have fun! (We did.)
