WHAT IS LETTERPRESS?

Formerly known as book printing, letterpress is the oldest printing process, uniquely transforming printed materials into a tactile experience.

On my 1950s platen press, I produce printed materials such as business cards, postcards, wedding and birthday invitations, stationery, brochures, and much more. The printing process uses ink while simultaneously embossing the image. This makes the art of letterpress tangible.
