Fluid Ink Letterpress | 2016 Wholesale Catalogue 1
What’s the big deal about letterpress anyway? Letterpress is fine, unique and it has soul. Letterpress is the graphic design equivalent of slow food - incredibly labour intensive and demanding of skill and patience. When you discover a letterpress piece, there’s something different about it. It was touched by human hands, it is tactile, you can see and feel the indentation the letters and ink leave in the paper and you will fall in love with its quality. It leaves a mark on the paper like no other process today can, and its quality will leave a mark on you heart. Fluid Ink prints letterpress coasters, greeting cards, gift tags and invitations onto cotton paper and recycled card stock using photo polymer plates, vintage illustrated blocks and moveable wood & metal type. Thanks so much for your continued support, it has always been, and still is amazing xxx DAVINA FARINOLA Designer, printer and owner of Fluid Ink Letterpress

“I’m extremely lucky to be able to work from a home studio in Perth Western Australia. I operate 2 presses – A Golding Pearl #3 (‘Mavis’) built in Boston USA in 1892 and our main workhorse ‘The Admiral’ a 1913 Chandler and Price. I mix all of my inks by hand from my library of base inks, using Pantone formulae. The appeal is being hands on, messy and sometimes quite physical.” www.fluidinkletterpress.com.au e: design@fluidink.com.au fb: fluidInkLetterpress insta: fluidink_letterpress
