Do you offer design services? Yes! I design invitations, announcements, business cards, personal stationery, etc. However, I stop at paper and am not a graphic designer who designs for the web. I also don’t design logos but am happy to help you with layout and pairing secondary fonts to your logo for your business stationery.

Do you offer other forms of printing? Yes and no. While I do offer some digital printing services to accompany my letterpress clients’ invitation suites like envelope address printing, day of signage, etc. I'm primarily a letterpress printer and design for that medium.

Do you have a pricing sheet? Every order is custom, so there is no one sizes fits all pricing. Factors such as quantity, paper thickness, number of colors, and level of design detail will affect price. Unlike digital or offset printing, letterpress printing also requires more labor & attention in the press-room. Fill out the contact form to request a quote.

If you’re interested in letterpress invitation suites, they typically range from $800-2500, including design. However, items such as specialty papers, die-cuts, address printing, assembly, and extras (bellybands, stamps, etc.) will affect the price. I’m happy to chat about how to make letterpress printing fit in your budget!

What is your turnaround time? The typical turnaround for letterpress printing is 10 business days. Many factors can affect this, but I will always keep you informed if there’s a delay. If you’re getting custom design and printing services turnaround is 4-6 weeks.

If you’re on a tight schedule, please let me know your desired turnaround time when you request your letterpress printing or design project.

Can I see a proof? Unfortunately, due to the labor intense process of letterpress printing, I don't offer letterpress proofs. I will however email you a color PDF for approval before moving forward on your order.

Do you print for other designers? Yes, I provide small-scale production printing to other artists and businesses. Print-ready files are required, meaning a vector file with all fonts and strokes outlined. If you don’t have vector files, there may be an additional file prep fee. Some of the items I’ve printed are business cards, greeting cards, art prints, coasters, dust covers, gift tags, and product tags. I’d love to help you bring your idea to life!

How do you match my color? We print using Solid Uncoated Pantone inks, which can appear very different on your computer screen. Please be sure to view a physical Pantone Uncoated swatch book when selecting your colors. If you are unable to access one, you are welcome to meet with me or mail a physical sample of the color you’d like matched (fabric, paper, etc).

Can you print white ink on dark paper?  Yes, but it might not be what your'e looking for. Letterpress inks are transparent and therefore the color of the paper will show through the ink. This ink transparency is more evident the darker the paper color. White ink doesn't appear bright white on black paper but instead has more of a blueish, grey look. Reverse printing could be an option for you, if bright white is what you're looking for. This is where I print the large field of color around your image on white paper and your image is left the color of the paper.

What is a blind impression? A blind impression is when I press your image into the paper without using ink. This is a subtle way to add texture without color. 

Does blind impression cost the same? Yes. Even though blind impression does not use ink it still has to be printed separately and is priced as a color run.

Can you print full bleeds?  Yes. Although, with letterpress printing, the paper tends to show through large solids, creating a slightly textured look that’s almost suede-like. Also, large solid areas can cause slight buckling of the paper. 

Can you cut a custom shape?  Yes. Though, to make a custom shape, I need to have a die made so this will affect cost. When die-cutting, a blade is used to cut out the whole shape at once -- much like a cookie cutter. 

Do you offer foil stamping?  No. The process of foil stamping requires a special press that we do not have. However, we offer metallic inks in our shop, which do have some sheen but are quite matte in comparison to foil. If you are looking for a metallic print that's opaque and has a high sheen then you are probably seeking foil stamping.
