Crank the press (while the lever is on print) and at the ink…[Read more]

I’m going to order some of the Holyoke soon too, glad to hear folks like it.Lettra can’t be beat on price for a nice cotton sheet, but it’s certainly not perfect. My secret for scoring, may not be a good practice, but it…[Read more]

I exhibited in 2008 and it was great, but definitely an undertaking for a single lady {of letterpress} Pooling resources and collective talent sounds like a win-win to me too.

Where are you located?I’ve done 8.5×11 sheets on my Xyron machine, too.

I am thinking of organizing a “tour of Presses” with the folks i know ranging from Denver to Fort Collins and many places in between. You interested? Also, there is a lunch once a month in Denver with all of the old printers around if you’re interested in that. Cheers!

I was just in Brooklyn and I would have loved to come for a visit. I have friends in Crown Heights who have a C&P 8×12 in their workshop just for fun, they’re just learning but have a paper cutter, type, and the press all there. I hope the next time I come for a visit, I can come see you too! Adding your blog to my reader…[Read more]

I want this exactly and I what I really want is for you to copy it for a cheaper price, and I want it yesterday. It also kills me when I come up with a design completely independently and then see something ridiculously similar online, I would hate for someone to think that I copied their work…[Read more]

I can see both sides of the issue here, but I admit, it does ruffle my feathers a little.

It sometimes feels like the market is saturated with letterpress printers right now. But I also feel as though there is never too much good art out there. So if you have your own style to put out there and you’re willing to put in a LOT of time and elbow grease, dive in!Maybe pick up a copy of Meg Mateo…[Read more]
