Jessica – yes, I think that studio artist might be a good way to word it. I also agree that having somewhere to refer them is always helpful. My husband always laughs about my conversations. No matter how the conversation starts, it always seems to end with me talking about art or printing. I do love chatting about it and most people do seem to find it interesting.

Thank you so much for the feedback. It didn’t seem to be as big of a deal when I was selling online, but now that I have a retail space, I get quite a few more people coming in for commercial printing.

I struggle with this as well. I am just getting back into letterpress after a year’s break (had to let go of my in-home print shop to move), but during that time I digitally printed my artwork. Either way, I don’t consider myself a commercial printer either.

Has anyone came up with a name for what we do? Sometimes I say I am an artsy printer or a specialty printer. I am still trying to figure out how to explain it. In their mind – I print therefore I will print.
