As an interesting way to see this collection of paste printed papers, we created a pack of ten, specimen sized, handmade paste-printed papers presented in a handmade, envelope. 

Paste Printing is a very old technique whereby a pigmented paste (usually made from wheat flour) is painted onto the sheet of paper, that sheet laid onto a printing plate.

Pressure is applied by hand or via a printing press, the ink is squeezed away from the pattern leaving a two tone print. It creates a softer image, not a "hi res" print as you would expect from a traditional process such as letterpress.

Contents: 1x handmade envelope made from a variety of antique text pinted papers containing ten different specimen paste prints.
