Was ist Letterpress (Buchdruck im Hochdruckverfahren): Letterpress revolutionised the world by making books and written material easily available. It dates back to 1450 with the invention of printing press and moveable type by Johannes Gutenberg. Back then, for every single word you see on a book, each letter was typeset and positioned by a different wooden carving or lead casting. The paper would be carefully placed on top of the type and applied pressure creates a beautiful kiss impression known as letterpress www.thealphabetpress.com.
