Welcome to Bedplate Press

Kia ora. Greetings.

We are a group of enthusiasts dedicated to preserving New Zealand's letterpress printing history for future generations. We operate from temporary premises at Silverstream, near Wellington, New Zealand. We invite you to come in and look around our web site, and find out what letterpress printing is all about!

This picture shows some of our keenest members. Our President Bill Nairn is seated at one of his favourite Intertype typesetting machines. Watching are Royce Jacobson, now retired after over forty years in the printing industry, and Garry Moller, our engineering expert and a Bedplate Press Life Member.
