About
Inky Octopus Press is a small-batch letterpress studio in Manchester Center, Vermont. Working on an 1880s-era Cook’s Victor Press, I aim to keep the craft of letterpress alive for a new generation.
The Paper
Inky Octopus prints on Neenah cotton rag stock manufactured in New York’s Mohawk Valley. Cotton rag paper is prized for its sustainability, as it often utilizes cotton waste from the textile industry, giving new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded.
Notecards are sized at 4.25"x5.5" to minimize waste.
The Inks
I use inks from The Southern Ink Company in Austin, Texas. Their inks are made from renewable vegetable oils and pigment.
Custom Prints
Looking for something special? I create custom letterpress cards and invitations with a handcrafted touch. Each piece is hand-printed on high-quality paper, creating a timeless look and rich texture that digital printing can’t match.
