We don’t ordinarily send a plug outside of our Forest Hills community, so when we do, just know it’s worth a look. Print & Duck Studio has been wonderful to our organization and to many of the nonprofits we support. Give em a try.

Hi everyone! My name is Kara and I’m excited to officially introduce my letterpress and digital print shop, Print & Duck Studio in downtown Saranac.

Printing has been part of my family for generations—my grandfather purchased the Saranac Advertiser and print shop in the late 1950s, and I’m proud to carry that legacy forward in my hometown that’s had printers serving the community for over 150 years.

I offer letterpress and digital printing for invitations, stationery, business materials, and custom projects. If you appreciate quality, texture, and timeless design, you’re in the right place.

Follow along for behind-the-scenes peeks, recent projects, and a little bit of print magic. Thanks so much for being here and supporting small business!
