Starting with a clear idea of what the client wanted, Isaac was able to not only fulfill the parameters, but adjust his own thinking once the production phase came to be. A good example of our constant need to be open to adjustments that often make a project better than originally intended.

Neal wanted crisp, thick and simple calling cards for his restaurant entrepreneur group. Letterpress ended up being a perfect option and Faulkenberg Printing Co. was able to print 2000 cards on the beefy 220# Lettra stock for an extremely low price.

We initially wanted to run these as a blind impression (no ink!) but the type at the bottom of the card was too small and the stock too thick to allow it. We ended up having to add just a touch of Pantone Cool Gray 2 U and they came out great!
