Our first letterpress was purchased through Skyler Shipley of Skyline Type Foundry in Illinois. Who by the way has his fair share of mats and machines to produce metal type and borders for letterpress printers. The press had to be rescued from an old run down printshop east of Hanibal, Missouri. Finding the small town and old shop was the easy part! For the next three hours it was a struggle between good verses evil to wrestle this 1800 lb. beast from its cave. Once we arrived back in Kansas City inches of oil and sludge had to be scraped, wiped and washed off to get it to a functional state. 6.8 lbs of sludge to be exact! We have since added another C & P along with 170 drawers of handset type and a 23 inch Reliance paper cutter. Our most current additions include a paper drill and a Showcard press that can print lino-cuts up to 20" x 24".To see some of our projects visit the portfolio section.
