Letterpress printing pocket-sized notebooks in Illinois.
The creative team behind Field Notes has done it again, delivering quality content that shares the story of the rich human power behind the production of their signature notebooks.
This video takes us into the production process of Field Notes’ latest edition of their COLORS series. From the family-owned shop of Freeport Press/Flywheel Letterpress to the mega-warehouse finishing shop, we’re excited to watch the full spectrum of printing processes combine to create the sleek black-on-black Raven’s Wing notebooks.
Letterpress, offset, scoring, folding, saddle-stitching, corner rounding, belly bands: the team of printers and production wizards behind the Raven’s Wing books provide a good balance of shop talk and plain speech that pleases us print nerds yet allows anyone to easily understand the processes. We’re delighted to see continued efforts to demystify the printing process, and this video certainly does that. Plus, it’s charming. Who can resist the nostalgic allure of antique printing machines? Not us!
