Letterpress Stationery - should I go for it?

I've mentioned before on this blog how much I love the letterpress printed wedding stationery that is so popular in America, not quite so popular in the UK but gaining in popularity. With this in mind, I have been researching the technique and looking at the possibility of buying a vintage letterpress printing machine. I would love to give it a go so that I could add letterpressed stationery to my range but to be honest it's all a bit overwhelming and daunting trying to work out exactly how it all works, what parts and accessories I would need to get started and whether I would have the skills and the patience to get it right.

So if anyone is reading this and knows anything about letterpress printing, please please drop me a line (christine@perfectmatchdesigns.co.uk) and point me in the right direction! I would really love to hear from you.
