Nandaka staff introduces their recommended sets, which change every month. The limited edition set for September 2024, recommended by producer Hitomi, features a set of TURBO Cards in Black and White.
These message cards depict the momentum of a person giving their all in a long jump. I often choose this card when I write a message of encouragement to someone facing a tough situation or embarking on a new challenge.
The fine lines that form the illustration are as narrow as 0.12mm. Through letterpress printing, they are sharply engraved on the paper using silver and gold inks.
In contrast, the "TURBO" text is intentionally left unprinted, creating a raised effect on the paper.
The design was achieved through a two-plate printing process: first printing with silver, and then overlaying it with gold. With such delicate lines, there was a risk that the alignment between the silver and gold parts might be slightly off during the second printing, affecting the clarity of the image and the "TURBO" text. However, the skilled professional handled it perfectly and produced impeccable prints.
Normally, these cards are sold individually, but this time they are available as a set. Feel free to mix and match the White card with the Black card and use them creatively! (Hitomi)
