With 2023 ending very soon, we wanted to remind you to stay classy! In this video, Jared demonstrates letterpress printing greeting cards in dark pink rubber base ink, which is a mix of rhodamine red and opaque white ink. This press run involved printing 50 cards using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. The electrotype (copy of a woodcut) of the very fashionable lady was made about 125-130 years ago and is from the Lewis Winter Collection. The type “Stay classy!” is 30 point Cloister Black font. The back of the card includes an image of a Washington hand press and the words “Printed at the Sacramento History Museum.” This card and other cards are available in our Museum Store! #SacHistoryMuseum #greetingcards #pink #oddlysatisfying #art #museumtok #asmr #printing
