Letterpress is a traditional printing technique that involves pressing inked type or images onto paper. This method uses movable type, which allows for the arrangement of individual letters and designs to create printed materials. It was widely used for books, newspapers, and posters before the advent of modern printing technologies. The process typically involves a printing press, where the type is arranged and inked before being pressed onto the paper. Letterpress is known for its tactile quality and distinct impression on the paper, making it popular for artistic prints, wedding invitations, and specialty stationery.
