Hello,

I’m looking for someone to (letterpress) print some business cards for me. I’d prefer a local company (Los Angeles area). It seems like Aardvark is pretty well respected.

Does anyone recommend a different company or have any comments or advice on where to go?

Thanks!

Thanks warmly for the heads-up Beth.

I’ve been doing letterpress (both metal and PPL) for a few years now, although my volume (read: experience) isn’t monumental. Which however is exactly the reason my rates are also not monumental. :-) On the other hand I try not to skimp on taste or quality; here are a couple of (rather poor) shots of something I printed last month - my new business cards:

(The back of the card is burgundy matching the color of the logo.)

Jonathan, I would be quite glad to take on your letterpress project.
Please email me at your leisure: hpapazian_at_gmail_dot_com

she used to be partner in this studio, but not sure if it still is together:
