Summary of Group
Location / Contact Info
The Amalgamated Printers’ Association was organized in 1958 as a hobby printers group so that members could improve their skills, expand their knowledge, and exchange samples of their letterpress work. Today, the APA consists of both professional and amateur letterpress printers, but our emphasis is still on the exchange of members’ letterpress printing and information on sources of equipment and better printing practices.
You can find the contact forms for members of the APA, as well as how to join, on their website or by clicking here.
The American Amateur Press Association is a nation-wide non-profit organization of amateur journalists founded in 1936. The purpose of the association is the promotion of amateur journalism and fellowship of amateur writers, editors, printers, and publishers; and the circulation of their work among the membership.
The CT&PM is a "working museum" that allows you to get a hands-on look at the history of printing in the Greater Cincinnati Area. The equipment you see is fully functional, and still being used on a regular basis by local artists and the museum's job training program. The museum is dedicated to bringing awareness to career options in the Print Media Industry, and helping break the cycle of addiction in the community of Price Hill by providing training, jobs, and dignity to its people. It is open for tours by appointment. See the website for details.

Michigan printing enthusiasts who are interested in the art and craft of letterpress printing. With Pilots and Heidelbergs, Linotypes and Ludlows, metal and wood type (with some interesting alternatives although, as of yet, no one has 'fessed up to polymer plates), we enjoy putting ink to paper and sharing our knowledge and discoveries. Membership is open to all and there are no fees. We meet approximately quarterly at members' homes.
If you would like to join us or find out more information, send an email to Arie at: koelewyn@msu.edu

Greetings Pacific Northwest Printers, Print Makers, Book Binders and Letterpress Enthusiast's.
