Yes. Printing on the back of a card is priced as an additional ink run. Thicker paper will help keep the letterpress impressions on the front and back from affecting each other.
If you want to get fancy, we can print a duplexed card. We'd print the front and back on separate sheets, then glue and trim after printing to completely eliminate impression show-through. Contact us for a quote on duplexed cards.

A blind-pressed run is priced the same as an ink run. We can either use no ink at all, or a lightly tinted white ink.
We can also offer blind embossing (raised as opposed to pressed). A blind emboss is priced the same as a foil run.

In general, letterpress inks are transparent, meaning that you can't print light ink on dark paper. Exceptions are metallic ink, which has decent opacity, and foil, which is 100% opaque.
Letterpress works best with line art and text. Large blocks of color are possible, but keep in mind that ink coverage may not be 100% even and saturated (it will have a more rustic/handmade look). Also, the heavy impression can tend to warp the paper if we don't use an extra-thick stock. Sometimes we might suggest that we print large blocks in a separate pass; however, this will add to the cost.

Probably. Contact us and let us know as many details as you have regarding the paper. There's a good chance we can buy it directly and if not, we'll let you know how much we'd need you to send us.

Once the design is finalized and we've received your payment, we'll have the order ready to ship in 2-3 weeks.
Assuming our current workload allows, we can rush the order for an additional fee: 20% extra for a two-week rush (ready in 6-10 business days) or 40% extra for a one-week rush (ready in 3-5 business days).
For orders requiring significant custom design, be sure to allow several weeks for the design process to be finalized.
