I do think your idea to use die-cut letterpress stock, like #220 thickness, is a good one- but you may end up spending an arm and a leg.
LETTERPRESS COASTERS CRACK
I suggest you look into the impression strength you’re using on this type of stock, and try to be more careful about how much pressure you apply- back it off a bit and you’ll likely still see and feel the impression, but not crack the blanks.
LETTERPRESS COASTERS CRACKED
Recently I printed some coasters on Katz’s stock on my C&P, and I experienced the cracking as well under deep impression- the client kept asking me to add sheets of tympan until it eventually was about to bottom out, and the last one I was comfortable printing without thinking about my poor press was the one that cracked the coaster.īut fortunately, I backed the impression off just a bit and it went right away, without a noticeable difference in the actual bite depth. Try to fold a coaster and you’ll see what I mean. ….when you put the three of those things together, you end up with a brittle stock that will crack.
Unfortunately, though, what you’re asking the paper to do is be thick, absorbant, and stiff…… Coasters for Lesa & Embla Letterpress printed in a three colour halftone / four Pantone spot colours on Beer Matt Board 390gsm and custom die cut. Custom Letterpress Wedding Coasters: Perfect for save the dates, wedding menus, receptions, and also like a wedding invitation, that will make a surprise for your invitee.
The sheets are really inexpensive for the thickness and it’s the right stock for coasters.

Ah, the price we pay for letterpress beauty! Combine this with the fact that I use an industrial scrub to take the grease and ink off my hands when I'm done for the day, and you can understand the discomfort. 100% cotton paper is great, but handling it repeatedly sucks all the natural oils from your hands. This means that I get grease and ink on my hands during printing, and they get dry and sometimes cut from handling all the paper. My hands are usually a bit of a mess because I don't like to wear latex or other gloves during printing, like some other printers do. My hands are pretty raw right now from all the press work (thank God for Aveda's hand cream). This week we've been working on finishing up the printing for a custom wedding order, designing a wedding invitation suite for another client, and printing up an order for a client that will be giving away packages of our notecards to his own clients as a holiday gift.
