The Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System transforms the classic art of letterpress printing into a simple, accessible, and incredibly satisfying creative process.
Letterpress printing is known for its rich colors and beautifully pressed textures — and now you can achieve that same effect from your own workspace!
With BetterPress, you can make cards, stationery, journals, tags, and mixed-media projects that look professionally printed. The system works with your favorite manual die-cutting machine (like the Platinum, Platinum 6, or Big Shot) and delivers crisp, deep impressions that feel luxurious to the touch.
👉 How it Works – 4 Easy Steps:
- Place your Press Plate onto the Chase (magnetic platform).
- Tape your Card Panel to the Platen using the Best Ever Craft Tape.
- Ink the plate with your Ink.
- Make your “letterpress sandwich” and run it through your die-cutting machine.
And that’s it! A clean, detailed impression with true letterpress depth and texture.
