C ome meet the extended family! Franklin is our oldest press and is also our go-to on print days for everything from cards to coasters to invitations, and more! He is the first printing press we purchased way back when we started up the shop in 2008 and he remains our personal favorite. For larger quantities we enlist the help of our iron battle maiden Griselda (we call her Grizzy) to power through the large stacks of paper. Vandy is our semi-retired gal who we occasionally call back into action when we have larger pieces to print, like posters, folders, or art prints.
