Letterpress printing is an art dating back to the 15th century and the printing of the Gutenberg Bible. Today Paper Stone Printing is part of the revival of this classic art form which produces original artwork letterpress prints, greeting cards, custom stationary, invitations, business cards, and other printed materials with a classic old world look and feel.
Unlike more modern printing methods, which lightly touch the surface of the paper, letterpress printing leaves a lasting impression on the paper and those who see the results.
At Paper Stone Printing we use a vintage 1903 Chandler & Price Letterpress that has been lovingly restored to its original splendor.
Living in the Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts our work is inspired by the natural world and our rural community. We try to keep our shop green - we use paper made from cotton remnants, our press is run by human power, we have a zero waste policy (reusing and recycling) and use biodegradable packaging.(Eco Clear Bags, a compostable, sustainable product made from plants)
