Base Camp Printing Co.

Our shop is open Thursday and Friday from 10am - 3pm. Feel free to stop by anytime within those hours to talk about custom work. We are also available to meet on Monday - Wednesday by appointment.

We can print pretty much anything on paper - posters, greeting cards, business cards, wedding invitations, stationery, coasters, etc. We do not print fabric, vinyl, or stickers but we can design them for you! If we can’t do the actual production we can recommend someone local or otherwise who can.

No, we only print on paper.

Standard turnaround time is currently 4-6 weeks, however it can vary based on the complexity of the job and the amount of work we currently have.

Each color is printed individually - we can only have a single color on the press at a time. We can print as many colors as you want, but it does get expensive because of the time that goes into production. Each color must be plated, set up, printed and washed up separately.

We can not recreate a full color photo through letterpress printing but we may be able to reproduce the photo as a halftone or line drawing. You can email us the photo to see what is possible.

We hand mix our ink so we can create virtually any color that you envision. However, letterpress ink is naturally transparent so the saturation and vibrancy of colors may vary.

The process of letterpress printing is not ideal to produce one copy of anything. Most of the work goes into the setup, therefore to get your money’s worth we set our minimum for most products at 50 copies. We will print one of something if you really want it, however the price will be the same as our minimum quantity.

Everything we do is by hand so quantities larger than 500 may be problematic - but not impossible! Contact us if you have a large project in mind and we will see what we can do.

The largest paper our presses can handle is 18" x 24"

We will not print material that you do not own the copyright for, is stolen, or is unoriginal to you. We can use other designs and posters as inspiration or a point of reference, but we will not recreate existing designs without permission from the original artist or designer.
