Oh So Beautiful Paper

Pistachio Press was officially launched during the summer of 2007.  Founded by Rachael Hetzel, Pistachio Press has functioned informally since 2003 when Rachael drove to Ohio to buy her first letterpress.  Since then, she has accumulated several hundred pounds of type and four more presses.  Her printmaking background has helped to fuel her passion for paper and ink as well as equipment and design.  After moving to Rochester, New York Rachael set up her studio space at Anderson Alley and expanded her basement operation.  In March 2010, her husband Jacob joined her and they’ve been operating as a two-person, three-dog operation ever since.  Pistachio Press now prints fine stationery, social invitations and limited edition prints.
