 About Rossi 1931

Rossi 1931 Founded by Antonio Rossi in Florence, Italy Continually operated the family in the traditional letterpress process.

Rossi 1931 is family owned and operated paper-making company in Florence, Italy - operating since 1931.

These unique Italian designs, dating from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, are printed on high-quality soft cotton paper.

This entire collection is made with the family's traditional letterpress.

Developed in the 14th century, letterpress printing involves setting type and motifs in reverse on a letterpress plate.
The plate is then inked and pressed onto the surface of the paper.
The pressing process transfers the ink and leaves a deep impression on the paper creating a three-dimensional print that has a feel, unlike any other type of printing.
The nature of printing demands a high quality and generally heavier weight paper that will not tear or thin when pressed.
Created with a perfect type of paper containing fibers that are soft and readily accept an impression as well as ink.
As you might expect, letterpress printing is both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Prints are made one at a time with each print having its own unique variations of ink coverage and depth of impression.
