Letterpress is a process of inquiry. Every project is a careful study of paper, ink, and impression, where the smallest details are balanced to leave lasting marks.

Mysterious Ink is an independent print shop in Spokane Valley, Washington. Since 2020, we have operated an 1890s Chandler & Price platen press and a 1950s Heidelberg Windmill to produce modern artifacts in paper and ink.

Here, curiosity drives the craft, precision shapes the outcome, and discovery remains at the heart of everything we do.

Our Philosophy

We operate by the old rules–
time-tested, deliberate, and exacting.

Quality and craft guide every move; every sheet, every impression is evidence of care and attention.

Every connection matters, every detail is observed, and every collaboration is an opportunity to uncover something remarkable.
