About Two Tone Press

Our delightful Kansas City print shop owned & operated by Dreher sisters, Michelle and Angie! Founded in 2005 by Michelle, Two Tone Press began in a spacious bohemian loft among the industrial brick warehouses and train-yards of Kansas City’s West Bottoms district. Angie joined her sister in 2011. We are a letterpress studio that specializes in a colorful aesthetic focusing on designs that incorporate bold typography and custom illustrations layered upon intricately patterned backgrounds. We use this vision to create all manner of printed products from wedding invitations and business cards for clientele to posters and fine art prints for consumers by means of a centuries-old technique of relief printing. We aspire to innovate beyond the traditional look commonly found in letterpress printing through the use of hand-carved elements and unconventional materials such as textured wallpaper, fabrics, and other found objects. These printed surfaces create a rich backdrop for every piece individually crafted by the studio. Over the years, we have grown from a modest studio in the corner of that rented warehouse loft to a full-service letterpress print shop that houses four rare vintage presses. Read their story
