The Honesty Company is a small, privately-held greeting card company that specializes in products of an adult or erotic nature. It is based in Fair Haven, Vermont and sells paper greeting cards, stickers, and novelty products.
Their 12-design card line include images depicting middle fingers, couples engaged in the sex act, nude people, and those announcing alternative lifestyle choices. The Honesty Company's most-popular copyrighted properties are those in their Erotic PrintCard line.
[edit] Background
The Company was launched in February of 2006 by two artists who developed a printmaking technique previously unused in the card industry.
[edit] Technique
The printmaking technique employed by THC is as follows. First, print designs are carved in a clay medium against a glass backing, building the clay up on the areas which are uninked in the final prints. Next, the carving is filled with a silicon polymer and allowed several days to cure completely. Finally, a wood block is applied to the polymer mold, resulting in a printblock.
