<p class="has-drop-cap">So, we&#8217;re all under quarantine, or self-quarantine, or simply practicing social distancing. Regardless of the semantics, for the moment we&#8217;ve all got time on our hands, as well as no small amount of nervous energy! Yet in all the hoopla of the slow coronavirus approach, followed by schools, restaurants and workplaces closing one after another, it&#8217;s been easy to miss that <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Mohawk (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.mohawkconnects.com/" target="_blank">Mohawk</a> has reintroduced <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="a slew of refreshed Crane paper goodie (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.mohawkconnects.com/article/mohawk-blog/re-introducing-crane-cotton-papers-new-colors-new-finish-endless-possibilities" target="_blank">a slew of refreshed Crane paper goodie</a>s — ;as well as some DIY to get your mind off of it all!</p>



<p> Let me back up a bit. When Mohawk bought Crane in 2018, it wasn&#8217;t just one company acquiring another, it was one family business hoping to do justice to a brand that came of age with America. After all, Paul Revere used its cotton papers to print revolutionary banknotes, and what else would Jimmy Fallon use it for his “Thank You Notes” segment on The Tonight Show? ;</p>



<p>So updating the Crane Cotton Paper portfolio was more than introducing another new product range — ;these had to honor the company&#8217;s history while serving the needs of today&#8217;s printers and designers. So now refreshed versions of Crane&#8217;s Lettra Letterpress and Crane&#8217;s Crest are joined by two new papers. Crane&#8217;s Lettra Impress, optimized to complement digital printing as well as offset and letterpress, engraving, blind engraving and stamping, is available in three pretty pastels as well as Dark Black. And Crane&#8217;s Lettra Impress Duplex is constructed from Lettra Impress Pearl White and Dark Black — ;it&#8217;s really something!</p>

<p>To really bring these new offerings to life, Mohawk has introduced ;Make with Mohawk Print Set 03. It is free, and it is the third in a three-part series pairing specific printing processes with select Mohawk papers. Here Crane’s Lettra is paired with one, two, and three-color letterpress printing — ;and it&#8217;s really something to see! </p>
