Letterpress is a type of relief printing.  It was invented by Johannes Gutenberg around 1440, though some evidence suggests that its creation should also be accredited to Laurens Coster.  Gutenberg used a modified screw press and moveable type (single letters cast in type which could be assembled to make words) to create printed material. Letterpress printing quickly became the standard in printing just as digital printing is today.  In fact, it was almost totally annihilated by the introduction of offset and digital printing.  Fortunately, it made a huge resurgeance in the 1980s due to its first (and arguably only) major modernization: photopolymer printing plates.  The use of photopolymer linked letterpress to digital printing by providing a means by which one can transfer digital designs to a plate that can be used in a printing press. We utilize both the traditional letterpress methods and digital methods.
