This collection of Holiday cards featuring quotes from popular Holiday movies — I embarrassingly can only guess one — are not only hot to look at but are also a must-rub as they are silkscreened with a thicker more raise-y ink on a bunch of different papers. For some on-the-scene photos of the printing go here.

During the printing of these cards we ran out of ink. Being up against a deadline we had the idea to try out some plastisol ink instead. The one downside to using plastisol is it needs to reach over 300ºF to fully set. Heating the paper in between colors was pretty tricky. Sometimes the paper warped or shrunk, so registration on the second color was very difficult. In the end we were able to pull some awesome looking prints. Using plastisol gave the cards a real unique look, the ink sort of lays on top of the paper and it has a really awesome raised/tactile feel to it.
