Black Stone Press
Black Stone Press has been letterpress printing on Vancouver’s historical Granville Island since 1996. It is a father-daughter run business, specializing in custom design services, fine letterpress printing, and limited edition books.
The process of letterpress printing is obtained by relief method, where the image or text is raised above the non-printing areas, which is then inked and pressed into the paper with presses that date back as far as 1846. The end result has a visual and tactile quality no other process can match.
Black Stone Press uses primarily photo polymer plates which allows more freedom for modern fonts and design; but also has an extensive selection of metal and wooden
type and blocks.
The presses used on site include two Heidelberg windmills, a Vandercook Cylinder, an Albion, a Golding Jobber, Little Giant, and two small handpresses.
