Printing and Binding Services Offered at Deep Wood Press
" Here at Deep Wood, with the equipment we have, the possibilities are nearly endless. We can die cut, perforate, blind stamp, deboss, emboss, foil stamp and print onto most any material. Due to our "dated" technology the results of process color printing are not to par with modern day offset printing technologies but letterpress excels at most everything else if you are trying to imbue your project with a sense of timeless quality and lasting impression. There is something about the impression of type on a fine surfaced paper which is both a visual and tactile experience that is relayed to the person holding your printed material on many different levels. Do you remember the last time you noticed printing and presentation? If you think about it you'll see where our true value lies. Our products are quality not necessarily quantity."
