Printing
Some postcards were produced by the participants, with the rest printed by Imi at Edinburgh Printmakers and using commercial printers or by Bent Kvisgaard at his workshop in Løstrup, Denmark.
All the backs (except two) were printed at Vingaards Officin in Viborg, Denmark and without the help from the volunteers at this wonderful letterpress museum this project would never have been completed in time.
