{"product_id":"midori-letterpress-letter-set-lemon","title":"Midori Letterpress Letter Set - Lemon","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA letterpress letter set built around a bold lemon print, made for people who still enjoy writing an actual letter. The design pairs a deep navy background with a vivid yellow lemon motif, laid out in a large, confident pattern that reads as grown-up rather than sweet. It fits Midori's \"New Classic\" concept: familiar, old-fashioned imagery given a fresh, adult treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach sheet is printed on Midori's own letterpress machines using metal relief plates, a printing method that's been around for roughly 500 years. The pressure of the plate presses into the paper, leaving a visible, tactile indent rather than a flat printed line. Because the process is done by hand, sheet by sheet, you'll notice small variations from one to the next: slight unevenness, a touch of blur here and there. That's not a flaw. It's what separates letterpress from ordinary printing, and it's part of what makes a handwritten letter on this paper feel considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe writing paper itself is soft and slightly plush, chosen specifically because it holds a letterpress impression well and gives a pleasant surface to write on. The ruled lines are letterpress-printed too, so they sit into the page rather than sitting on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnvelopes that match the mood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe envelopes use a paper called \"Polka,\" flecked with pink fibres, chosen to complement the delicate printing on the letter sheets without competing with it. They're sized to fit a postcard or a photograph alongside your letter, so you can send something a little more personal than words on their own.\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.
