French Press offers both Letterpress, Thermography & Offset printing. Each is described below.

Letterpress Printing
Letterpress printing offers a level of skill and craftsmanship unmatched by other forms of printing. Unlike most modern printing methods, each piece is hand-fed into an antique printing press, the printer operates the press so that the paper and plate meet, and then (s)he removes each piece individually. The image or type is pressed into the paper and results in a stunning, indented image. Because each piece is treated independently, the price of letterpress is higher than current printing technologies.

Thermography Printing
Thermography printing is also very lovely and can be printed in 'bulk', meaning several pieces can be run through an off-set printing press at the same time. The final step is a heating element which raises the ink from the paper resulting in a raised image. The printer is less hands-on, thus reducing the time involved, and therefore reducing the cost to the customer.

Offset Printing
Offset printing is one of the most common forms of printing. It is a flat style of printing that yields crisp, solid forms. Because you can print in bulk, this allows for the cost to be much lower than letterpress.
