Mixit Print Studio is a professional monoprint/intaglio studio located near Davis Square in Somerville, Massachusetts. Established in 1987 as a direct outgrowth of our previous cooperative printmaking workshop, Artist’s Proof, our goal was to put together a well-equipped professional studio and to foster a supportive and interactive community of printmakers/artists.
Years of experience and careful thought have gone into planning and improving our 1300 square feet of space. Our 40” x 70” American French Tool press and our 30” x 60” LeDeuil cast iron press are supplemented by a 24” x 48” Takach press. Vent hoods, moveable fans, and many windows provide ventilation. Large tables and counters provide surfaces for both “clean hands” and “dirty hands” work. We have a metal sheer, an aquatint box, a light exposure set-up and a custom designed forced-air print dryer. The Mixit Print Studio provides solvents, rags, flat and cubby storage. Each artist is responsible for inks, paper, plates, blotters, and personal supplies. Proof in Print: A Community of Printmaking Studies, published by the Boston Library gives more information about Mixit Print Studio and related print studios.
