{"product_id":"midori-letterpress-letter-set-flower-frame","title":"Midori Letterpress Letter Set - Flower Frame","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere's something different about a letter printed the old way. This Midori letter set is made using genuine letterpress printing, so instead of flat, uniform text you get a light physical impression pressed into the paper itself, plus the small natural variations that come from a mechanical printing process rather than digital output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe design\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMidori calls this collection \"New Classic,\" and it's a fair description. Around the border of each sheet runs a flower frame pattern in red and light blue, a style of decorative rule that has been used to dress up letterpress books and printed matter for a long time. It has a nostalgic feel without being overly sweet, which makes it a good fit for adults who still like to write real letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaper and printing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe letter paper is chosen specifically for letterpress work. It's soft enough to take a deep, clean impression, and the ruled lines are letterpress-printed too, so they sit with a slightly raised texture rather than a flat printed line. Because letterpress uses metal plates and physical pressure, no two sheets are identical. Small differences in ink coverage and depth of impression are part of how this process works, not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe envelopes are made from a plain, warm-toned paper chosen to complement the letter sheets without competing with them. They're sized to fit a postcard or a few photos alongside your letter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 sheets of writing paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 envelopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWriting paper:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210 mm x 148 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnvelope: \u003c\/strong\u003e114 mm x 162 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePen compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater-based pen:\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFountain pen:\u003c\/strong\u003e may bleed with some inks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrush pen:\u003c\/strong\u003e may bleed with some inks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInkjet printer:\u003c\/strong\u003e not suitable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on writing tools\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBecause the paper has a slightly soft, absorbent finish suited to letterpress printing, fountain pen ink can feather a touch depending on your ink and nib.
