This was a busy week for wedding invitation jobs, both working on proofs and printing. I love this time of year – I have a really nice bunch of clients and wedding projects are always fun for me. Here are some grass invitations being printed on the Heidelberg. I usually don’t take many press photos [...]

new wash-up blade

I had a messy few hours yesterday when I changed my wash-up blade. This is the rubber blade that cleans off ink and solvent from the main drum during cleaning.

I recently printed a very nice invitation designed by the bride and groom, and they purchased a special Italian handmade Rossi paper with deckled edges on all sides.

Today is my last day here in Tokyo, what a fantastic trip! One of my main motivations for coming was to see if there was any interest in letterpress here in Japan. While there is still a lot of room for growth as a popular craft, letterpress does have some presence here. On Sunday I [...]

A busy week here in dumbo. Our favorite press rigger Diego (striking a serious pose here) came by on Wednesday with a new addition to the studio, a beautifully restored C&P press for my studiomate Breck.
