Letterpress devotee Jo Ann asks:

I am looking for a letterpress company that offers a seasonal package 4 times a
year. You can subscribe for a year or just for one season. I can’t find them,
but I hipe they are still in business. Any idea of who they are? Thanks.

Does this ring a bell?

Oh, how I love this release from Milkmaid Press. The Carnival is fresh and fun and utterly adorable.

Hi Everyone!

I’ve completed cleaning out the directory. All dead links have been removed along with:

• Sites that are no longer letterpress-related
• Sites that have just been placeholders (”XYZ Company coming soon!”) for a long time with no actual product or studio info
• Sites that have snuck in under letterpress but who actually do not offer letterpress stationery

The good news is that there are 11 new additions today! Viva la letterpress.

• Dolce Press
• Erika Ebert Press
• Farfalla
• The Hand Work Press
• Paper Stories
• Poppy Letterpress
• Sweet Beets
• Twenty3rd Street
• Watermarx (Australia)

Etsy:

• Pineapple Press Etsy
• Sweet Beets Etsy

I’ve received several submissions to the directory in the last few weeks. Please know that I’ll be working on updates this weekend and early next week. If you’ve recently submitted a site, design, or news item sit tight. I’m working my way through the backlog as quickly as I can. Thanks for your patience!

Hey ILLers,

This reader question actually comes from me. I’m in need of business cards. Who among you offers biz card design and printing? You can shoot me an email (info #at# this domain dot com), leave a comment or use the contact form to reply. Thank you!

Editing to add that I’m looking for LETTERPRESS business cards only. Thanks, guys!
