]]> Comment on The kiss by Ben Brundell http://handandeye.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/the-kiss/#comment-96 Ben Brundell Sun, 16 Aug 2009 18:17:31 +0000 http://handandeye.wordpress.com/?p=323#comment-96 Nice to see a balanced view of 'kiss' vs. 'thump' -- much of the debate seems to be that printers must adopt one or the other. I'll add that my personal take is that to insist on debossing is to do the interested observer a dis-service. Without debossing, letterpress retains unique qualities -- your customer mentioned the solidness of the colours; but also the slightest impression and the effect of ink spreading to the edges of the face.

She was the model for some of his best wood engravings. Anyway, by the time the Salfords drawing office were going to extremes, Gill was more interested in religious matters in Wales and goats. In passing, Monotype made the Aden 20mm Cannon for the RAF's Hunter fighters. They could have taught Rolls Royce a thing or two about precision!.
