Innovation guided by tradition
Kinker Press was founded in 1987 by two brothers-in-law with a passion for the printing arts of yesteryear and expertise in modern printing techniques. Unlike companies that specialize in just one or two styles of printing, we do it all: digital printing, offset printing, and vintage printing techniques such as letterpress, embossing, engraving and embellishment.
