Who We Are

We are bespoke artisan printers. Our work is bespoke in the sense that we lend our focus and expertise to the needs of the client, and artisan in the sense that our work involves a high level of expertise and craftsmanship.

Our customers are businesses, designers, and individual clients who value the highest quality in the physical execution of their paper goods, branding, and self-expression.

We are customer-focused, which means we communicate as swiftly and clearly as possible, we are realistic but also courageous in the projects we take on, and we move at the pace of modern business. Because of our long experience and robust supply chain, we are able to accommodate quicker turnarounds and more unusual requests.

Most importantly, we aim to be what we are — Dependable, as in, we are dependable in our quality, we are dependable in our delivery of what we’ve promised, and we are dependably responsive to the needs and desires of our clients.

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!
