Letterpress machines are still around, sometimes standing next to the latest and greatest "Speedmaster" machines. They're used for <don't know the word, but the works that don't need ink>. Yes, that was my idea as well. I'll try to get to some auctions... Still looking for all that other "bad" stuff like a RIP... Possible. The card making process seems to be quite simple. Take the paper and cut it to cards. Waht I currently have: - Cutting machine - Windmill press - Some letterset stuff (lead) - not related to the cards What I'm still missing on my way to making cards: - Photopolymer plate flow (RIP with "film making machine", developing machine, Nyloprint machine (washing, drying, exposure)) - corner rounding machine - Mechanical guide that allows steady cutting of the cards' missing corner - The right paper. The photopolymer thing can be done elsewhere for now. I'll pickup the equipment on occasion. A corner rounding machine would be great. Though there seemed to exist cards without rounded corners. Paper seems to be available. Don't know prices yet. The price is critical. If it's more expensive than 1-2 EUR cent per card the project is endangered.
