OUR PRESSES
Below is a list of our presses and descriptions of their printing capabilities:
Heidelberg KS Cylinder Letterpress
Heidelberg KS Cylinder Letterpress
- 15 x 20.5″ maximum sheet size
- Relief printing process: area to be inked is raised above non-inked area and transfers ink received from rollers onto paper.
- This press dominated the print process from the time of Gutenberg until 1962, when offset litho eclipsed letterpress with its speed and quality.
- Our cylinder letterpress was manufactured in 1956
- Die-cutting capability
Vandercook Universal III Power Test Press
Vandercook Universal III
- Automatic run function
- 19 x 24″ press bed

Heidelberg Windmill Letterpress
Heidelberg Windmill
- 10 x 15″ maximum sheet size
- Manufactured from 1913 until 1976, over 175,000 Windmills were made for relief printing, die-cutting, foil stamping and embossing.
- Perfect for smaller letterpress print jobs, such as business cards, wedding invitations and announcements, and envelopes.
Sturges Etching Press
Intaglio Print
Along with San Francisco-based artist Jane Grossenbacher, we recently welcomed a beautiful Sturges etching press into our shop.
This gorgeous press handles a wide variety of non-toxic intaglio printmaking techniques using copper plates, including polymer photogravure, freehand toner-wash printmaking and other more experimental printmaking projects!
Cincinnati One-Arm Screen Printing Press
One-Arm Screen Printing Press
This large-format screen printing press was custom-designed and built by John Sullivan. Its maximum print area is 20″ x 30″ and has a convenient lever to pull the squeegee, rather than requiring the physical exertion typically found in manual presses. We’re able to combine large-format screen printing with letterpress on our 19″ x 25″ Vandercook for a truly unique and tactile product.
