impressus /latin, passive participle of imprimō/
1. pressed 2. printed 3. stamped
impressus is a small letterpress studio located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I print small runs of greeting cards for any occasion, prints, gift tags, and other paper goods, including personalized business cards and stationery for businesses and individuals alike. I also love working with clients on custom orders. I would love to hear from you if you have an idea or a question!
I work with metal type, wood type and photopolymer plates. When I work with type, the text is composed by hand, letter by letter, and locked into the chase of the press, ready for printing. Each item is printed by me on my Golding Pearl Improved No.11. I use 100% cotton papers (110 lb. cover weight and up) and rubber-based inks. I also like experimenting with different textures, including wood veneer and fabric.
My style is all about simple and streamlined designs. I like to think that less is actually more.
