I started Pressure Printing as a way to collaborate with and promote the artwork of the amazingly talented artists that I admire most. It is first and foremost a labor of love and secondly a vehicle to generate enough money to perpetuate itself and to hopefully make money for the artists and myself.
I have been professionally involved in the graphic art world for over twenty years and have been block printing since I was a small child. My design business, Keech Studio, has worked with clients large and small since 1986. My passion for fine and unusual art combined with a need to print compelled me to start Pressure Printing with the goal of creating unique and sought-after handpressed print editions of the finest quality possible.
Using antique handpresses, I individually print all of the images in these collections myself. The traditional process is a painstaking one that produces one impression at a time, resulting in a beautiful print with depth and dimension not achievable by any electronic method. The paper I use for the prints is carefully selected and is usually hand made especially for the projects. I design the packaging and advertising for the projects I work on as well as organize, market and finance the projects. With my background in graphic design, printing, and business, I feel that I have a great service to offer and have found it much more rewarding to be involved with these artists rather than solely as a retailer or collector.
