To most of the world letterpress printing is just something cute for business cards and wedding invitations. For Daniel Heffernan it’s no novelty, it is the truest form of printing—suitable across the spectrum of professional and personal communication. For Daniel, printmaking is the perfect confluence of art, science, and craft, providing a rewarding profession he never knew existed until an art school professor discovered his hidden obsession for letterforms and typestyle.
Daniel and his printmaking studio, Clove St. Press, have been making progressive strides since the days of hand-cranking just a few prints an hour. He’s become a go-to resource for artists wanting to see their work memorialized in a material way, designers with the vision to translate pixels to pulp, and purveyors who know the impact of a well made product label or package. With this burgeoning reputation, Daniel saw an opportunity to ingrain some extra punch to the Clove St. brand experience.
