Dolce Press :: Letterpress Print Shop & Design Studio
http://www.dolcepress.com/blog
Dolce Press is the innovation of Alexandra Daley, a design veteran with a passion for all things artistic who hails from Long Island, New York. As a graphic designer, it was only natural for Alex to want to broaden her inspired visions and share them with the world of printing. And what better than the ultimate in chic sophistication: letterpress printing. Our blog journals our own experiences with letterpress printing as well as offers information to those who are just starting out. We create one-of-a-kind letterpress stationery, invitations, announcements, and greeting cards.
