I had the best experience with Nicole Baker at Dependable Letterpress. (…) She was very prompt with responses to all my emails and changes I requested along the way. Nicole was very patient with me and took the time to listen to our needs and make her own suggestions to improve our design.

(…)Dependable is an understatement – more like exceptional. Exceptional pricing, exceptional attention to detail, exceptional service and quality. Letterpress is truly an art beyond any description I am capable of providing. (…) Joel worked with us to develop the perfect product, even going so far as to allowing us to provide the drawing to be used. Our project came under budget and the final product exceed our expectations !

Dependable Letterpress produced high quality, two-sided business cards for my new business. I thought I would splurge with letterpress and I’m so happy with my decision. All of my clients comment on how great the business cards look. Liz/Joel provide excellent customer service. I didn’t even need to set foot in the actual shop: they mailed me paper samples and promptly answered my questions about design/pricing over email. Wonderful place that respects the art of letterpress and treats its customers well.

If you want the best quality letterpress product, this is the place to go in all of San Francisco! It may be expensive, but us as graphic designers should know this going into the sale in the first place. It’s a old craft, but a quality and respected one at that. Liz at the front desk was really helpful in picking out and showing me samples of previous cards. The best part? They match pantone u swatches perfectly. Said two weeks, really only took one. I love my business cards!
