WE’VE GONE Green
Grass Stain Green, our 3rd Quarterly Edition, features a letterpress-printed super-heavy 100# French Pop-Tone cover, with a matching light green graph on the inside pages.
The covers are unlike our usual offset-printed covers. Letterpress printing creates an impression in the paper. This debossed effect with a tinted spot varnish gives our Field Notes artwork a subtle and earthy texture.
