Papillon Press was founded in 2009 by illustrator couple Chantal Bennett and Joel Kimmel. We were originally based in a basement in Sudbury, Ontario, but in 2013 we moved our 10×15 Chandler & Price letterpress, all our type cabinets and other printing gear to our current studio in Westport, Ontario.
In 2017, we decided to scale down the printing side of the business and focus on freelance illustration. We still have a large selection of our illustrated greeting cards for sale in our Etsy shop. We still take on the occasional letterpress printing job and also host workshops on typesetting and printing your own note cards.
Please check our blog for any upcoming events.

Just really cool! I went to college in Ottawa for graphic arts and loved the platen press and the California job case. I’m thrilled you are making invites this way. I am also from Sudbury which makes this even cooler. If you ever come across a California job case I would love to buy one. I make invites with rubber stamps.
