Description

The Hand Lever Block Printing Press 17300 is a compact and practical press specifically developed for lightweight, straightforward block printing techniques, particularly linoleum and woodcut printing. Designed with ease of use in mind, this press offers an accessible solution for artists, students, schools, and hobby printmakers who require reliable printing performance without the complexity or expense of large roller presses.

At the heart of the press is its specially engineered handle, which functions as a lever arm to generate consistent and evenly distributed pressure across the printing plate. This mechanical advantage allows the user to apply up to 40 kg of maximum press force with minimal physical effort. The lever system ensures controlled pressure application, helping to achieve clean, even impressions while maintaining a smooth and manageable workflow.

The press is designed to accommodate a wide range of material thicknesses. By adjusting the position of the upper pressure plate at two different fixing points and inserting washer plates as liners, users can easily adapt the press for printing block thicknesses ranging from 0 to 30 mm. This flexible adjustment system makes it suitable for various substrates and block types, offering versatility within a compact format.

With a printing area of 21 × 30 cm, the Hand Lever Block Printing Press 17300 is well suited for small to medium-sized projects. Despite its sturdy construction, it remains portable and space-efficient, measuring 42 × 30 × 20 cm overall and weighing just 6.7 kg. Its manageable size makes it ideal for studios with limited space, classroom environments, workshops, or home use.

As an economical alternative to traditional roller presses, this model combines affordability, functionality, and durability.
