Article raises question...

Researching in the St Bride's Library uncovered this article in Typograhica 65. David Wakefield talks of letterpress's limitations and strengths for use in modern day advertising. Though very much a letterpress fan, " The Letterpress Process is not quaint. It can be vigorous with honest association offering not only an alternative but something with added value. And added value is it's strength.." David is sensible of its practicalities, " Letterpress...remains a considered option presenting a unqiue process with a unique solution. It shows no sign of dissappearing yet. If we could harrness the speed of digital expectancy, we woild clear some space to work with it."

Yet the article goes on to describe his efforts in producing two recent commissions via letterpress...no mean feat either, which means I will have to get a move on if I want to achieve my aim. Advice in talking to someone familiar with typeseting maybe a good idea here.
