We're sad to announce the passing of our Printer's Devil, Daytime Kitty. He may have never filed type or made tea, but he will be missed. We look forward to meeting up with him again in the big press room in the sky.

We're makers! This weekend, we had the pleasure of volunteering for the San Francisco Center for the Book's booth at Maker Faire at the San Mateo Fairgrounds. Our participation was a bit last minute, so unfortunately, we did zero promo for it, but we hope you were able to stop by and see our demo and printed goods. Our photos are on Flickr, so check it out.

We've also updated our website to include our goods printed in May. Whew. Etsy will be updated soon.

Both jobs are included in the past jobs section (with pics to be added soon.) We also took a couple pics of the printing process which will be added to the about section. Birthday cards are the next project which hopefully will be printed in May...
