From Jamie Lee Curtis to Billie Eilish to Jon Hamm, Aardvark Letterpress has made it 55 years because of its loyal clientele.
Surviving in an obsolete industry as long as Aardvark Letterpress has requires fundamental elements of entrepreneurship. Skill, dedication, creativity and professionalism are essential. General manager and co-owner Cary Ocon returns to another theme that's kept what's now the city's oldest letterpress print shop running since 1968. 'Dumb luck,' he says. The lack of pretense and polish here belies the pedigree of much of Aardvark's client base.
from Mexico City, Luis Ocon's purchase of Aardvark Typographers from his former boss Ken Matson coincided with the early adoption of computerized typesetting. 'The business just started to nosedive because no one's doing metal type anymore,' Cary explains. A customer suggested they learn to print in order to adapt to the changing times. 'We got our first press and stumbled our way through letterpress printing,' Cary recalls.
