I'm a graphic designer and I was looking for a print shop to handle a couple of projects I am working on. I called Nomadic Press this morning to inquire on whether or not they did printing other than letter press. Kent was SO helpful, even though they couldn't help me out. He asked what I was looking for and then explained things about the printing process that I didn't know, recommending another shop in Minneapolis that might be able to help me out. I will definitely be returning when I have a letterpress project that needs to be completed!

When Kent Aldrich began his printing business over twenty years ago there were fewer and fewer real letterpress printers around because it had become easier and cheaper to print with more modern methods, and with the dawn of desktop publishing pretty much everybody became a printer. His choice to go into this business is tied to who he is as a person rather than what kind of career would make a lot of money. The quality and value of his work has provided for his family and a good life.
Quality and value.
That, really, is all that this review needs to say. There are now many more people experimenting

The Nomadic Press is a really cool studio with an equally cool owner. Kent is a super nice guy, and it's clear his work is his passion. I had the privilege of attending a studio tour of the facilites where he produces his art. Stationery, business cards, invitations, certificates...you name it and he can print it. Have him print an invoice; that too will end up looking like an artifact :)
He took the time to walk us through the entire process and patiently answered all our (mostly my) questions. He even allowed us to print little booklets and sent up back with souvenirs. His website
