Letterpress and thermal printing - what's the difference?

What's the difference between letterpress printing, and thermal embossed printing when we talk about invitations. With letterpress - simply put - your letters are pressed into the paper. Your type or illustration will be indented into your stock using a raised surface printing plate, and the depth of the resulting "bite" will vary depending upon the type of paper chosen. Thicker, softer papers  will carry a deeper impression than hard or thin papers. As for thermal embossed printing, it's the opposite. Embossing is a way to embellish typography and illustrations by raising the ink on the paper. Using heat and a special embossing powder a raised shiny surface is created. As beautiful as both treatments are, they are more expensive than traditional printing - so keep that in mind when budgeting for your invitation packages.

For me, I prepare to have embossed printing to my wedding invitation than letterpress printing. I guess because I really love to see almost the same picture in my mind than ordinary print with it. Also, it will look so pretty and expensive, but not that really. Letterpress is old school and very normal, unlike embossed printing extraordinary pleasant to my eyes and touch.
