With the emergence and rapid rise of the blog, traditional print media is struggling.  Commercial print shops are on the ropes, and newspapers / magazines everywhere are shutting down shop.  The creative community should view this as an opportunity - we find ourselves in that magic moment where a traditionally commercial process enters the hands of the individual and is re-purposed for the creation of exciting, exploratory, and previously unimaginable work.

Currently we are in the process of getting the press set up and running. Just like all the other equipment in shop, we will soon offering classes. Once safely trained to operate the press, a membership will allow you easy access to the shop to produce your own work. In addition to the new press we also have a Baumfolder 714 folding machine, perforator and saddle stitch / stapling machine. Now is the time to start laying out that sweet 'zine you've been dreaming of.
