Based in Bend, Oregon, and run by Amy Gautschi, Simple Ink is a Northwest design studio recognized for its products of simple beauty, rich papers and letterpress craftsmanship.

Letterpress is a five century-old relief printing technique.

A raised, inked image meets fine paper with enough pressure to create a precise, de-bossed impression. Only antique presses are used and no other printing technique can achieve its tactile, nostalgic feel.

In a world of mass-produced materials, letterpress represents a return to tradition and fine hand craftsmanship.

From design to printing, from embellishment to assembly, each step of production occurs in the the United States with an eye on conservation and quality. All Simple Ink artwork is letterpress printed on the highest quality 100% cotton (tree-free) paper. In addition, every component of our products -- right down to the clear sleeve packaging -- is recyclable.
