Letterpress is the craft of printing directly from inked type or engravings onto paper. There is no other printing method that can match the look and feel of a well printed letterpress piece.
Nickel Plate Press is a working letterpress shop operating a collection of vintage equipment from the past 100 years. Largest sheet capabilities: machine-fed 12" x 18" ; hand-fed 14" x 20".
I enjoy turning creative ideas into sensible, legible, attractive finished works. In addition to my own projects, I also print for folks who appreciate the time-honored craft of fine letterpress printing.
