I hired the boys over at Mama’s Sauce to make me some business cards.
They were like, “So, how do you want us to make these?” and I was like, “I dunno, maybe just lazer print them on some 25 lb. white paper.” They laughed. And when they realized I wasn’t laughing with them, they looked at me with the seriousness of an ER doctor and said, “Aw, heeey-ell naw.”
Then they took me in the back and showed me this thing. The Kluge letterpress.
Fired up!
Ramped up!
Mama’s boys.
The finished product. You’ll have to have a power meeting with me if you want to get your hands on one of these. They are pretty sweet. Also, keep your peepers pealed for Chase and Matt’s mini-doc. Most of the interesting info on the Kluge is reserved for that.
Nick Sambrato. Man of press. Man of passion.
Thanks Nick!

it’s printing press equivalent of Dogfish head brewery! Thanks for the peek into the passionate printers world
Video turned out great. If I knew I was gonna be on video, I might have trimmed up the beard a bit :>)
Nick has a serious chunk of high speed iron, there, and has put Winter Park seriously on the Letterpress Map. Not many parts of the country offer this traditional graphics service! Particularly in the Southland. Best of Providence to Nick and “Mama’s Sauce”. And as Prof. Matthews said from the U. of Tampa Book Arts Studio: “Long may you simmer!”

Hi Fellers,
Great to see letterpress is alive and well down there. It ain’t new of course John Wells and later his daughter Susannah were both into printing a local (St Augustine) newspaper in those brief years of the English colony of East Florida. He was of course a Loyalist, and had previously printed a newspaper in either Savannah or Charleston. When the English left Fla in 1783, his press went with him to Nassau. (Where my family also went.) He printed the local paper there, until after much persuasion he returned to Charleston and restarted the paper. After he died, his wife and then daughter kept it going until Susannah came to England (see her book) and married a very famous bookseller R. Aickman. See my website so see what I do. There are relations of mine still in Fla. They do know the real story of the Loyalists, not the version taught in schools.
warmest regards and best wishes from
England,
