Hello, this is Mark from Envelopments. Boxcar’s approach to reviewing the L Brand Letterpress and offering their insights is a real gift!
With all the chatter online about the ability for an at home table-top letterpress, it looks like the desire is absolutely there. Now with professionals like Boxcar jumping into the mix of this consumer product we can expect to see an appreciation for letterpress grow…even more.
Boxcar’s approach to informing the public and sharing their depth of knowledge will be welcomed by many…particularly those who want to learn and explore as well as the recipients of a beautiful letterpress creation from the hand of someone they know.
Hi Mark,
Ditto everything you said.
I was actually quite surprised by the Boxcar review – and that it was overall rather positive – as the letterpress community’s attitude towards the L Letterpress has been largely negative. Harold & crew should be applauded for staying open-minded and being willing to try it out first hand. To see a well-respected player in the letterpress industry be open to this machine and for them to offer advice on using it is wonderful. I hope the L Letterpress brings them some nice revenue through their custom plate program and that the exploration of the L Letterpress brings a greater appreciation of letterpress to the masses. There can never be too much letterpress on the market!
