About oblation papers & press

when you hold in your hand the soft handmade paper with deep letterpress impression, made daily at oblation papers & press, you immediately sense the rarity of the object. since 1989, ron and jennifer rich and their creative team of artisans and designers have carved out their niche with textural handmade papers beautifully suited to that letterpress bite. this soft paper is made by hand from pure cotton, sourced from recycled remnants of the garment industry. its toothy surface is beautifully suited to highlight the deep impression made by letterpress in our cards and handbound books. after macerating the recycled cotton in a hollander beater, heavy sheets of handmade paper are pulled from watery vats to print one at a time on cast iron presses... all on view from oblation’s retail paper boutique in portland, oregon. we also offer an array of custom letterpress business cards, wedding invitations, personal stationery and more. our team of skilled designers are here to make your visions come to life. feel free to reach out for more information about custom letterpress printing! oblation papers & press was founded on practicing a green approach and we follow recycling principals that focus on reuse and conservation. sustainability is in our roots and we use soy ink, wind power, and reclaimed antique letterpresses that will outlive us all!
