Our Story

Timeless charm
With feet planted on the rocky soil of Maine’s remote Swan’s Island, Jane Goodrich and Jim van Pernis established Saturn Press in 1986. Their distinctive designs and high-quality letterpress printing have attracted a large following.
James and Deirdre Anderson assumed ownership in 2024. We now operate Saturn Press from the charming and historic town of Kent, Connecticut in the Litchfield Hills. After a career in product development and education respectively, we are proud to continue the tradition of developing beautiful and unique letterpress greeting cards.

beauty for everyday
Customers love our cards because of the compelling (and often quirky) designs printed on high-quality paper - they can see and feel the difference between a Saturn Press card and others. A Saturn Press card is the perfect way to celebrate a milestone, brighten someone’s day, and to share sentiments for those you care about.
Our guiding philosophy is simple - create beautiful things for everyday life. We hope you cherish Saturn Press letterpress cards as much as we enjoy providing it to you.
