About Inky Lips Letterpress
A Texas original, Inky Lips Letterpress is owned and operated by Casey McGarr. He has 20 years of graphic design experience and 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.
We operate a Vandercook Universal lll, Vandercook Universal l, 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 1994. 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.
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.
