Our Services: We letterpress print from a variety of forms; photopolymer, magnesium plates, and linoleum. Handset wood and metal type can also be part of the letterpress printing process.
We can use Adobe Illustrator and Indesign files with the type outlined. Please send a pdf proof when inquiring for an estimate.
Graphic Design is offered to ensure you get the best product. If you have a design, send it on and we can discuss your job and the best way to letterpress print it. 
We operate a Vandercook Universal lll, Vandercook Universal l, Heidelberg Windmill, and a Anderson Vreeland A2 Platemaker to process our photopolymer plates. We have 11 cabinets of metal and wood type and various other equipment to complete the letterpress printing process.
Inky Lips Press has been working hard at creating letterpress posters, letterpress invitations, and letterpress stationery. We welcome any projects that will keep the dust off the type and the press in motion.
Jim Sherraden (black jacket), manager of Hatch Show Print stopped by earlier in the year with photographer Phil Hollenbeck. I've known Jim 1994. He's a great guy and a top notch letterpress printer. Then in 2009 Jim came to Dallas for the DSVC Student Show and presented only as Jim can. Phil Hollenbeck, Jim, and I hung out for a while, ate lunch, and talked about good food. Ryan (red printers apron) and I were printing the "High on Fire" poster on the Vandercook 32-28.
