SleekPixel for letterpress studio
Wedding suites on Lettra, polymer plate runs, wood-type broadsides pulled off the Vandercook. Each run on the order CPT renders into a 1080x1080 card the studio can post while the ink is still wet.

Press runs, paper stocks, and the slow rhythm of the studio grid
A letterpress studio's grid is slow on purpose. A wedding suite once a week, a broadside every couple of weeks, a small run of business cards on Crane Lettra. The posts have to do double duty: they sell the studio's work to engaged couples and event planners, and they document the press history for the studio itself. Each one is a square image with the job title, the paper stock, the press, and a clean photo of the run pulled off the cylinder.
The data is already on the WordPress site. The studio runs an order CPT or a WooCommerce product with ACF fields for press, plate type, paper stock, run size, and ink colors. The press photo lives in the media library after the operator pulls a proof. The typing is done at the time the quote was approved. The gap is the 1080x1080 PNG that the studio owner would otherwise build in Photoshop or Canva because the type has to match the studio's printed brand.
SleekPixel renders that PNG on save. The order post updates with the proof, the card lands in uploads with the paper stock, the press, and the run size already set. The studio posts before the next plate is locked in. The feed stays as considered as the printed work because the template was designed once and never moves.

Features
What SleekPixel gives you for letterpress studio
Card per run
Every wedding suite, broadside, and business card run saves with a square card. The paper stock and run size come from the order, not a duplicated Photoshop file.
Ink and paper tags
Pantone ink mixes and paper stock names from the order render onto the card so the post reads like a press log.
Studio fast lane
Printer updates the order at the press, the card is already in uploads. The owner downloads it from the sidebar and posts.

The bigger picture
Why letterpress studios need a grid that matches the printed work
A letterpress studio sells itself with type. The cards a couple receives in the mail set the expectation for the studio's work, and the cards on the studio's Instagram have to carry the same weight. Most studios get this right on a printed invitation suite and lose it the moment the marketing card moves to Canva.
The font shifts, the spacing drifts, the post stops reading like the studio's printed work and starts looking like a small business account that happens to print things. The fix is to derive the marketing card from the order in the same way the printed piece is set in the print plan. The job, the paper, the press, and the run size are typed once at quote time and rendered into a template the owner designed alongside the studio's printed identity.
The grid carries the printed brand forward through a season of suites and broadsides, and the engaged couple scrolling Instagram sees the same care she saw on her friend's wedding suite last spring.
Questions
Common questions about SleekPixel for letterpress studio
Yes. Web font files for the studio's printed type can be loaded into the template. The marketing card and the printed suite end up reading from the same type system.
Both work. SleekPixel reads any post type and any field, so a job CPT or a WooCommerce product with ACF fields can feed the same template.
Yes. A field on the order can mark the suite as confidential, and the template swaps in a generic label for the public version. The internal log keeps the real names.
Templates can be conditional on technique. Letterpress uses one layout, foil another, engraving a third, all pulling from the same order CPT.
Yes. Editing the order from in-design to plate-made to on-press re-renders the card. The latest file is what is tied to the order URL.
Yes. The OG image is wired to the same render. A wedding planner pasting the URL into Slack or email sees the press card in the preview.
No. SleekPixel renders the image and saves it to uploads. Posting is a manual step from the platform app or a scheduling tool.
No. SleekPixel renders static PNG and JPG only. Press videos and animated proofs are out of scope, the focus is still images tied to the order data.
