Reservoir Prints Business Cards for Artist Justin Sanz

The team at Reservoir Press worked with printmaker and muralist Justin Sanz to create a new business card. The process started when Justin took one of his amazingly detailed woodcuts and reduced it to a size that would fit on a standard card. Then the team at Reservoir Press worked with the precision of letterpress printing to make all of the design's glorious detail apparent to all of the artist's clients to whom he gives his calling card.

With this card project, Reservoir worked to produce a card for Justin that would be in keeping with the artistry and technical skill typical of his work.

A Big Card for a Big Client

Reservoir Press will help to make reality any presswork the client desires. In this case a photographer wanted a business card that would be as original and unconventional as her own work. The team at Reservoir worked to make sure that this card, designed by Alison Forner, was printed to the client's exacting specifications. From color to size no detail was left to chance. From the precise cutting work for the border to the pressure and kiss impressions used in the different parts of the card, this job was as important to Reservoir as it was precious to the client.

Client Designed Business Cards

It is not unusual for a client to come to Reservoir Press with their business card already designed. Our production staff is happy to take your design and execute it in letterpress with the right color and on the right paper so that it has that perfect look and feel when you pass your card to your own clients. This job had a very clean design, which was exquisitely complemented by the beautiful emboss that the paper took from the type.

Clean, simple, gorgeous.

Another Reservoir Card

Hand-set type was used to create this relatively conservative business card. The deckle (or rough edge) at the bottom of the card marks that little bit of stray from the norm that allows us to say that we can produce anything from the most corporate looking cards to the most artistic.

At the heart of all Reservoir Press designs, however, is the presence of the hand-made in each card that identifies the owner as someone who cares to have the very best representing them.

Reservoir Business Cards

Reservoir Press is proud to be able to provide business cards of the highest quality to our customers. Since every job is custom, the sky is really the limit when it comes to designing a card that your clients will remember.

This card, which was created for our own business, uses a specially hand made Japanese paper. Each piece is mould-made by hand, which results in the inimitable four deckles (the roughed edges of the paper that signal its hand manufacture). Deckles are not uncommon on hand made paper, but having four deckles is extremely rare, and stunningly unique for a business card. It is exactly the kind of trait that makes a client's eyes open wide, and realize that your product is special.
