Even if they were willing to pay for a test run,
is anyone interested in doing this?
I can try to be available to advise.

Hi Molly,
Beyond their deadlines,=20
the fine line issue that silkscreening has,
is also an issue with the letterpress.
Ask for a copy of the image of each plate?
Will the plates be letterpress height ready to go?
What material will the plates be made of?
Even if there are no fine lines,
I doubt we can get even impression off a plate that size.

Hi,
=20
I=E2=80=99m a PhD student at MIT and had a few questions about
letterpressing with APO. Is the press available to MIT students for
non-MIT-affiliated events? My fianc=C3=A9e wants to make letterpressed
wedding invitations (and possibly save the dates) and suggested I
reach out to see if this is in APO=E2=80=99s domain.
=20
We=E2=80=99ve designed our own artwork and would provide our own plates,
and are anticipating a card about 5x7=E2=80=9D with either one or two
colors. The run would be approximately 200 cards.=20
=20
If this is feasible, I=E2=80=99d love to speak more about specifics.
=20
Thanks!
-Josh
