Letterpress Startup Public Print and Supply Co

Starting a letterpress shop isn't easy, and it takes time. In this episode I talk with Andrew Myers and Joey Gross of Public Print and Supply Co in Kansas City. They're a new printshop in town, but not new to the print game. With three months under their belts, we discuss the difficulty of self branding and previous businesses and shops where they both have worked. I inquire about the types of business they want to cater to, but also what they see for the future. With the start up phase of any business being rather mercurial, the future could result in many outcomes. It's an exciting time for Joey and Andrew and this episode gives us a tiny view of what it's like behind the press in a new studio and what that looks like in the early stages of development. Public Print and Supply Co is Andrew Myers and Joey Gross (formerly of Survival Letterpress) and is located in the West Bottoms district in Kansas City, Missouri.Follow Public Print and Supply on Instagram@publicprintcoFollow The Print Cast on Instagram@theprintcast
