Weekly Quiz: Name This Letterpress Technique

Answer: Tonal Letterpress!

Tonal letterpress uses colored ink to create just enough contrast between the artwork and the paper to make your design visible. The print color chosen is usually just a little darker than the sheet you are printing on. So a Peach paper would receive a Peach ink that is just a touch darker than your sheet, but within the same tonal range.
