Letterpress
Report
Letterpress is a form of relief printing using a printing press in which a printing surface (a plate) is inked and then is pressed against paper to create a print. Relief printing is where the positive parts of the image are raised on the printing plate above the negative, or non-printing areas. It is this technique that allows the creation of an impression (or debossing) of the print into the paper.
Digitisation
Report
Cottontail Press utilises the latest technology in order to digitise artwork for high quality reproduction. Our preferred method is photographic capture as it allows us to capture very large pieces, and more difficult works such as thick oils. High resolution photography also allows us to properly light each piece autonomously for individual effect and accurate results.
