    Does anyone have any experience of Letterpress printing at home? It's something I'm looking to get into.
    I found this video for a kit that you can get but you also need a machine to use the kit with. I think it is a die-cut or embossing machine but I'm still trying to figure it all out.

    Anyone got any experience or tips to share?

    It depends on what you want it for. I think it would be letterpress in the same way that painting by numbers is great art.

    It looks like the next step after rubber stamping. I personally prefer rubber stamping. The letterpress kit looks like too much work for what it produces but I much prefer handmade with actual hands to machines. But that's just my own preference. I saw a letterpress kit in Art & Hobby recently - not cheap either!
