What is the Prixel Printing Kit?
The Prixel Printing Kit is a modular hand-printing system that allows you to create graphic compositions, typography, and illustrations using interchangeable silicone stamps. Designed and manufactured in the United States and exclusively imported by Rittagraf, this kit combines the playful spirit of construction toys (like Lego) with the precision of the graphic arts.
Inspired by pixel art, modular typography, and traditional printmaking, the kit turns each geometric shape into a piece for “drawing” and composing images through printing.
