Skylab Letterpress

Let's print something that doesn't get thrown away! Based in KCMO, we are a small letterpress print The future of yesterday's technology, today!

Based in Kansas City, Missouri, Skylab Letterpress is a full-service print shop focused on the craft of letterpress printing in the modern landscape. Since 2006, we have been building relationships with our clients by offering Skylab as an incubator for their dreams, ideas, and printing needs. We have also developed close working relationships with a network of great digital and offset printing ve

ndors in the Kansas City area that gives our clients an unbeatable range of printing solutions. We love pushing the envelope of printed design possibilities. We are able to keep an antiquated printing process fresh by employing modern materials and digital solutions. Working with digital files, we create our own printing plates in-house which allows us a rapid turnaround time for projects. Need that extra special touch? We also offer edge-painting, duplexed and triplexed stock, gold foiling, die-cutting, numbering, drilling, and many other finishing techniques. The past couple of years, Skylab Letterpress has also hit the ground running with our own line of paper goods! From inspirational prints to nerdy posters, gift tags, spooky prints, greeting cards, holiday items, and so much more. We print and design everything in house, often collaborating with local artists as well, and we would love to share our paper goods with you!

Impromptu north kc lunch with some great pals, who are working on a super fun project.

25ish years ago I had the good fortune to print biz cards for Tony Fitzpatrick, a Chicago icon who passed away last weekend.

My boss at the time had better fortune in that he did this job for trade! :)
I was just happy to meet the guy.

His intaglio work really changed the way I felt about the art form. I kinda thought it was fussy until I saw his approach. And he was a big bear of a guy.

Letterpress was a fun form for him to tryout, and we had to mix up some special black ink, as he told us he preferred a 4/c black mix. But that woulda made this card pretty expensive. We found a good mix for him. Don’t ask me, it was a quarter century ago. ;)

I’m not surprised by the outpouring of love for him this weekend. He was a local celebrity who was approachable, caring, apparently threw great open studio parties, and never stopped caring about people. His last few posts on FB are all pix of his caring nursing staff during his last few weeks. You can tell from their smiles that even on his deathbed he was able to make meaningful contact with the people around him.

RIP.
