Then there is the niche that is clearly outdated, but those who love old-school technology refuse to let it die. Quality Letterpress is a two-person storefront operation in San Diego, operated by brothers Tim and Matt Butler (their dog, Coltrane, keeps the peace). As its name suggests, Quality is strictly a letterpress shop, with some foil stamping and embossing, providing invitations for brides and ideas galore for graphic designers. Some trade work is also performed by the Butlers; Tim used to work at a print shop, running ABDicks and Multiliths.
