Working on Job #1

January 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Yesterday we printed the return address on the envelopes. I’m guessing that was the easiest printing part of the job. The rest of the afternoon was spent fixing the invite form, and then printing those. A few sorts shifted during printing, so many are unusable, but the practice is welcome, so I’m okay with that. (Or rather I’m telling myself that I’m okay with that. Honestly, I’m quite disappointed that I didn’t catch the shift before printing a stack of them… But, now I know!)

The shipment from Crane arrived when I was on holiday so we definitely have enough supplies to play with. Ordered a pack of Lettra in Pearl White. It looks really nice and I’m happy with the way it prints as well.

Next weekend the goal is to finish printing the invitations, start on the reply cards (and possibly finish those too!), and clean/organize a little more because our second Kluge and stone will be arriving on Saturday! It will be a big and dirty weekend.I’m loving that Lava Orange Pumice soap- really takes the ink/oil/machine build-up off!

* I forgot to share that when we went to start creating the forms, the list of fonts we have didn’t match up to the actual inventory. What was labeled “Lydian Cursive” was not a cursive at all, so we had to find some similar fonts…
