Working on the Vandercook

A view of our lovely studio, complete with paper sculptures hanging from the ceiling, as our new assistant Liz McCall prints on the Vandercook.

The plate on the press bed is for the Maidenhair Fern card.

The paper is fed over the cylinder so the ink on the plate prints onto the paper; the rollers ink the plate simultaneously.

The Maidenhair Fern card is one of our most popular sympathy cards and features a beautiful maidenhair fern in teal.
