Fiery cards

Bookmarks

Uninspiring cards
Let's say it loud and clear: cards with 'inspirational' messages are shocking and disturbing. They are based on banalities and often on trivialized injunctions and oppressions.
Uninspiring cards are just the opposite and that's good.
Dies & cuts
The printing stamps used to decorate and embellish the letterpress prints have been selected with the greatest care on the basis of their availability (and their price too, we are not in the bourgeoisie here) in flea markets and sites of antique objects.
Furniture & Lego
The small printing equipment, especially the spaces, quads and furniture, is also second-hand. It is often supplemented by lego blocks, which give the printers a thrill but are still quite practical, it must be admitted.
Typefaces
The printing department of the Anarchist and Vintage Propaganda has no less than six (6) different typefaces, all of them second-hand (or more). That's enough to insult the bourgeois, the fascists and other reactionaries.

Presses
All prints are made on the proofing press, a machine normally used for proofing. However, this type of press is very practical and is ideally suited for proofing and printing of fiery and uninspiring cartels.

How letterpress prints are made.
Where other printers prefer to hide their creative processes (to create false suspense or make it look like the technique is not so easy), we choose honesty.
Through this animated imagery (by videographer) you can discover the method used to print cards and other ink products.
