“The only thing I’ve ever committed to is my press. No man has ever gotten this much attention.” So says Amber McMillan as her hand rests on the prized Chandler & Price Platen Press circa somewhere around the 1890s she acquired a few years ago. McMillan is the CEO and sole employee at Post Editions, a boutique Brooklyn-based letter-press company. Some of the vintage presses are as big as tanks and weigh just under a ton.
With the advent of Facebook and other networking sites, business cards are less and less necessary. A business card has an aura of old world class to it, and Post Editions is a much chicer way to get them then some laser printed Kinko’s monstrosity.
