What is letterpress printing?
Letterpress is a traditional relief printing technique in which a raised, ink surface is pressed onto paper to create an impression. This method, invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, was the primary means of printing for centuries before being largely replaced by offset printing and digital methods.
