Betún de Mantequilla is a print shop founded and run by graphic designer Kristyna Osorio. With offices in Guadalajara, Mexico, they define themselves as an artisanal printing boutique that specializes in corporate stationery and events. It was born from a desire to offer pieces of nostalgic beauty that take you back to a simpler time, when the world seemed to turn more slowly on its axis and everything was produced by hand with the utmost love and care.
Their work is characterized by 3 main techniques: print screening, hot stamping, and letterpress, meaning that each one of their pieces a sensory experience and perfectly showcases the brand, and as such, they've had the opportunity to work with design studios such as Estudio Romeo and Menta Branding, and print pieces for clients across Europe, the United Stated, and Mexico.

I would have liked the course to show letterpress printing, the details of the clichés (height required for letterpress, embossing and hot stamping), the types of clichés used (metallic or polymer), which is the most recommended and how the printing is done. placing them in the machine to achieve a perfect fit.

in my opinion the whole practical part relating to typographic printing is missing... where and how to make polymer or metal clichés.
