I was ecstatic when I sold out of a few different runs of cards, but I also sigh deeply when I realize I have to reprint them the same as before. One of my favorite things is to create new designs, but there is definitely a sense of purpose to printing cards you know have already sold. A month ago, I pulled out my two silhouettes that I used on my "I'm in Lesbians with you" and "Hello, Gorgeous!" cards. Much to my chagrin, they were curled and unprintable. In one of Boxcar press's newsletters, they talked about a how to remedy curled plates (A FACELIFT FOR BRITTLE PHOTOPOLYMER PLATES) With the idea in mind that the plates needed hydrated and warm, I put my tea kettle on and let them sit in hot water for a few minutes. The results were amazing. The silhouettes as well as my bikes in the city and water tower designs have not printed this well since the first printing.
