Ink & Paper make hand-printed letterpress and hot foil stationery for weddings and special events. Letterpress is a traditional printing method where text and images are pushed into tactile cotton paper, leaving a deboss impression. Grania believes the quality is far superior to modern digital printing and offers a quality of product that is rarely seen today. Hot foil is a similar technique though instead of hand-mixed inks, uses shiny foils for a bold effect.
