What is "letterpress"?

Letterpress is a traditional printing technique where raised letters and images on a printing plate are inked and then pressed onto paper. The process involves arranging the letters and images in reverse on a plate, applying ink to them, and pressing the plate onto the paper to create the print. This method is known for its distinct, tactile quality, with the inked letters often leaving a slight impression on the paper. Letterpress printing is commonly used for creating invitations, business cards, and art prints.
