Today we took a trip to one of our local Winnipeg printers. Not only do they print, but they also do letterpress, embossing, custom die cuts and basically everything you can imagine. So where is this illustrious printing plant located? Near the baseball stadium practically under the train tracks. Oh and it’s not so much a plant as it is a shop.

We came for business cards, but left with a bounty of great footage and photos of a tour of their shop. All we can give you so far are some photos, but video of these beautiful, rare machines and interviews (including an interview with someone who worked there for over 40 years!) are on their way!

I read this and remembered a video I watched recently about a letterpress by the name of Kluge: http://www.vimeo.com/4749657
