briar press is a great resource, there's really no mystery, the process is farily simple.
it's pretty expensive.. what is it you want to get printed?
and there's sort of two types of setup, one being handset type where the printer uses their own metal type and ornaments to create the piece and the other made from plates, similar to offset printing, you can do many things with route 2.

yeah, briar press IS indeed a great resource. thanks for the links so far... keep 'em coming!!
i recently got engaged, so i want my save the date cards and my invite set to be letterpressed. you just cant match the tactility of a letterpressed item.
im a designer, which means im picky as hell - and all the printers i use at my work would definitely hook me up, but offset is so 2001...

I am going to letterpress my cards in toronto relatively soon, before the end of the summer for sure. I have some contacts but I was wondering,,, for those of you who have printed letterpress:
Are you getting lead/metal plates made or photopolymer. I am actually a certified flexo press operator from and have produced photopolyer plates before from negatives and still have contacts and I was wondering if that would be the best way to go about doing it. Like...make the plate, and mount it on a block up to the right height.
