We love any excuse to dust off the HPS letterpress. This month we designed, carved and hand printed a batch of holiday cards for our friend Katie at Sunflower Grant Writers.

More details about the letterpress: It’s a 1910s Poco No. 0 Proof Press, found in the A&R Salvage yard in Omaha. On and off in 2019, Quentin broke it down, cleaned and oiled it, powder coated the base and rebuilt it. Extra photos on Instagram »
