Boxcar Press Mentions

You may have guessed that we really love (letterpress) printing around here. We also love seeing our name in print, so we were honored when the Wall Street Journal contacted us a few months back to talk letterpress.

Felt & Wire also interviewed Harold, one of Boxcar’s owners, about the revival of letterpress — it’s pretty neat, check it out!!

We’re psyched when we see some of our customers in the news, too — in August, Norman’s Printery was featured in a really nice post on the Gutenblog. The post also links to their Flickr photostream, which is pretty incredible…take a look!

Job of the day

Today’s job is a double-sided trifold wedding program. This lovely classic piece is printed in taupe ink on white Smock bamboo paper. Next the program will go on to be scored for smooth folding. Then it will be trimmed, inspected, packed and shipped to the happy couple. That makes us happy.

Happy Harvest

Today is CSA day, as in Community Supported Agriculture. Every week we get bins full of fresh organic, local produce delivered right to our door. This keeps us strong and healthy to do more printing and for the farms to keep growing delicious crops for the community.

Go, windmill press, go

Today we’re printing with the trusty Heidelberg 10×15 letterpress, nicknamed the “Windmill” because of its rotating gripper arms. Upon this super thick plush white stock we’re laying down a soft golden yellow custom ink.
