Perfectly Acceptable Press is a risograph print studio and small publishing house based in Chicago. Beginning solely as a commissionable risograph printer, they eventually began releasing publications; primarily artist books, graphic novels, and zines.
They've built up a really varied and interesting repertoire of titles, involving a host of international artists and illustrators from Anna Haifisch, Hiller Goodspeed, and Sonnerzimmer.
I decided to contact founder Matt Davis to find out about what they do and how they operate as a press. I have my own ambitions surrounding printing and publications, and how to do this self-sufficiently and thought they may have some advice.
