Jack was at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon) during the early 1960's. He started the Laboratory Press and taught the creative possibilities of letterpress. He left there about 1964. Later he ran the Greenwood Press in San Francisco, and lived in Tiburon. Robert Harlan describes Jack Stauffacher's involvement in Sumner Stone's "Cycles" font.
