All of our work is handprinted on one of our vintage printing presses. For larger pieces, we print on a Vandercook 219-AB made in the 1950s. We also use a Chandler & Price Platen Press that is around 100 years old!

Many of the methods that we use to print in our shop are exactly the same as they would have been hundreds of years ago. This includes hand setting vintage wood and metal type from our collection.
