I would hit up some smaller mom and pop print shops.. like Petro Tech and maybe Maranda? not sure ... I know sait had a letterpress a while back, what do you need it for?

Thanks - I'll start with them and call around.

I was going use letterpress printing for my wedding invitations.

ah, well, any digital press could get you the same sort of results.. but as I said before, go for the smaller shops, they'll have some older equipment.. so it's better off there

Letterpress will actually leave an impression on the paper, which digital won't. Can't even emulate that digitally. Though you could emulate it with a really shallow deboss.

Talk to Judy at Maranda. They won't have a letterpress but she can find you one. And she can help you put together a wedding invite at a reasonable cost.

Try calling Paramount Printers in Lethbridge, sure its not in the city but they deal with a lot of clients from Calgary. They do fantastic work (403-327-3287).
