We proudly adopted this press about a month ago. Sadly, it arrived broken in shipping! We’ve managed to repair the breaks but are still waiting on a chase to hold the letterpress type and images in place for pressing. We look forward to acquiring this last detail so that we can work both presses and create cards and images a little more consistently.

This is the press in the process of cleaning and repair after shipping.
In 2007, we began designing and printing cards for our own wedding. Invitations, thank yous, save-the-dates, escort cards, door hangers, maps…well, you get the idea.
We enjoyed it so much that, even after the wedding, we continued to design and create cards for every upcoming occasion.
In 2009, we acquired our first, but certainly not our last, letterpress. While the press requires manual operation and hand inking, we believe it’s well worth the extra effort. Each card is unique and different and, for us, is what makes the process so rewarding.
We hope you enjoy the site and appreciate your feedback!
