A limited edition (120) of handwritten song lyrics commissioned by EMI Music for Australian artist Paul Dempsey (Something for Kate). The notes were to accompany the release of Dempsey's debut solo album - Everything Is True.
Letterpress printed on 300gsm Italian Magnani Incisioni paper in a soft black on a 1969 Heidelberg cylinder press by Wayne Davis. The cylinder press was chosen because of the thin impression strip it creates when paper carried on a round surface meets a plate on a flat surface. This results in a beautifully sharp image.
