Good morning to Salem, Ohio's Cranky Pressman!

I love everything about the Cranky Pressman, but I especially love this quote: "This is not some cute boutique. We offer full letterpress production for creative professionals." I'm as guilty as the next girl for fawning over pretty shops and the tactile nature of letterpress in general (hello, wedding invitations), but as a design pro, I gravitate towards  the no-nonsense approach when it comes to getting my work printed because, ultimately, I want to know...are you spending time making your shop look pretty or are you busting your rear to produce the best damn product possible? Something tells me Cranky Pressman falls into the latter category. With ink under their nails, this shop is run by "Cranky Bros." Keith and Jamie Berger in small-town Salem. So...crazy-mad letterpress skills? Check. Ohio small town? Check. Family-run business? Check. What's not to love?
