About Inky Lips Letterpress
A Texas original, Inky Lips Letterpress is owned and operated by Casey McGarr; steeped in design and love for the smell of ink and the sound of a flatbed letterpress turning over and over. No other press in the Dallas area offers what Inky Lips Press can which is original work hand-carved and cranked out on flatbed letterpresses and spun on the Windmill.
We operate a Vandercook 4, Vandercook Universal lll, Vandercook Universal 1, Heidelberg Windmill, and a Anderson Vreeland A2 Platemaker to process our photopolymer plates. We have 8 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 for about, 10 years. He's a great guy and a top notch letterpress printer. Ryan (red printers apron) and I were printing the "High on Fire" poster on the Vandercook 32-28.
Casey McGarr has 20 years of graphic design experience. He has worked at an advertising agency and was a creative director for 9 years at Fossil. He started Inky Lips Letterpress in 2001 and has loved it ever since.
