I love getting a sneak peek into printing studios. Â I’m constantly in awe of the heavy duty cast iron machines that produce such beautiful and delicate stationery. Â I was absolutely thrilled when Michael from Czar Press sent over this fun tour of his letterpress printing studio in Orange County, California. Â Let’s take a look!
From Michael: We’re a full service wholesale and commercial print shop.  We make our own film and photopolymer plates and offer letterpress printing, flat printing, die cutting, scoring, duplexing, edge painting, and some other good stuff.  Our shop currently consists of four letterpresses: Chandler, a 12 x 18 Chandler & Price; Ivan, a 10×15 hand feed Kluge; and Boris and Lenin, both 10×15 auto feed Kluges.  We also have a little nursery for my little one, Piper.  We welcome vistors!
And here’s the cozy play area that Michael created for his adorable daughter Piper!
Thanks Michael!  For more from Czar Press, check out their website right here!

So great to see Michael’s studio!!! I worked in Marketing with Michael many moons ago. When I get a letterpress client I’ll be calling Czar Press to print the job 😀
Yay! West Coast love!
Thanks for sharing this studio tour, it’s always amazing to see what goes on behind the scenes…..
