Created a set of custom type and I'm looking for someone who can make that into woodblocks for letterpress. Does anybody know a place where they still make those things, preferably in the Seattle/Portland area? It's been ages since I've done letterpress. Thanks.

You'd be better off creating your design using your custom type then having it made into a photopolymer plate as having someone create custom wood cuts of your letterforms would be pricey and hard to source

letterpress is metal though, and every letterpress place should be able to do it...

Most every letterpress place nowadays can print with photopolymer. There are some places you can get type created though if you are set on it.

probably cheapest solution (not including your own work time)

you want a complete set of metal type?
they usually just make 1 metal plate for each job, with all on one piece.

Nice. Thanks guys. I think I found a place here in Seattle that would do it for a good price.
