The studio. We are a small letterpress studio located in Torrance, California. The design studio and letterpress is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Larry and Heather Mitchell. All letterpress cards and prints are printed on a Vandercook No. 4, "Vandy", flatbed cylinder proof press.

Packaged collections. Our postcard sets are packaged in sets of four (4) or six (6). Each individual card is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (A2 size) and printed as a flat letterpress postcard on 100% tree-free cotton paper. Each letterpress card is supplied with a USPS approved polypropylene envelope to use for your mailing preservation. Click here to order.

Prints. Our letterpress prints are limited edition runs and sold individually. They are printed on 100% tree-free cotton paper and 8" x 10" in size. Each print is signed and numbered. Click here to order.

Custom. We specialize in custom letterpress printing for the creative industry and individuals. Remember, it's important to contact us early in the design process so that we can offer you tips to successfully complete your project and stay within budget.

Soy-based ink. The inks we use contain less than 1% VOCs and can be easily cleaned with a water based solution. Soy-based
inks are a renewable resource and emit less amounts of volatile hydrocarbons during the printing process. The ink we use
contains organically grown nut oils in place of petroleum oil.

Custom ink colors are available for an additional $40. Please supply us with a swatch or Pantone color and we will match the ink
color as closely as possible.

The Vandercook 100 is Available for Pre-Order!

I am thrilled to announce that after almost two years of hard work, The Vandercook 100 is available for pre-order.
I want to first and foremost thank all of you for your support, participation and patience with this project. Self-publishing
has been both a challenge and a tremendous learning experience for our small studio. To say the least, the process evoked many emotions ranging from the initial excitement and anticipation to the final sense of accomplishment and elation.
It took longer than I expected and I am sorry that you have had to wait so long to see the fruits of our collective effort.

I am so grateful for my team of friends and family who generously gave their time, talents, and enthusiasm for this project.
I especially want to take a moment to thank the 100 participants who graciously shared their stories. Without you,
this book quite simply wouldn't have happened. I am grateful to have had the honor of getting to work closely with those
I have admired for years. I find myself inspired by so many fellow printmakers who share my passion and I hope this book
will become a well-known resource for those interested in letterpress printing and for those who own a printing press.

Please check out The Vandercook 100 new landing page where you can find sneak peeks inside the book, links to the
100 participants' websites, and the book's video trailer. The book will benefit students, teachers, practitioners, and designers who are looking for a comprehensive directory of letterpress printers. It will also offer insight into their methodologies
and offer a glimpse into their work environments. Here's what you will find inside:

• stories from over 100 artisans, teachers, practitioners, and designers
• over 500 photographs that share a glimpse inside studios, institutions and book art centers throughout the world
