Letterpress printing orange greeting cards for Mother’s Day with a tabletop press

Mother’s Day is approaching and if you’re looking for a nice letterpress printed greeting card, we have you covered! Check out our museum store for details. In this video, Jared letterpress printed a Mother’s Day greeting card with orange oil base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. The text on the front of the card states, “You’re the purrr-fect MOM!” It was typeset in 30 point Caslon font. The image of a cat is from an electrotype made in the 1890s from the Lewis Winter Collection. The back of the card includes an image of a Washington hand press, our museum monogram, and the words “Printed at the Sacramento History Museum.” Fifty cards were printed in this press run!
