The Sláma Press is a brilliantly designed, hand-operated graphic press that redefines the printmaking process for both beginners and professionals. Whether you’re working in linocut, woodcut, drypoint, etching, mezzotint, aquatint or even lithography, this unique ball bearing press offers a practical, portable, and surprisingly powerful solution. Unlike traditional rotary presses, the Sláma Press relies on the controlled pressure of rotating steel balls, making it remarkably easy to use – even for children – while still delivering high-quality, even prints. It’s ideal for artists looking for a compact and cost-effective alternative to larger, more cumbersome printmaking equipment. The press can be used on both paper and fabric, with no limit on print size thanks to its open, handheld design. It also stores away neatly when not in use – no need to rearrange your studio every time inspiration strikes.

Small Sláma Press /50 Balls
Perfect for smaller-scale work, the Small Sláma Press is made entirely of stainless steel and does not require any added weights. It handles print sizes up to A4 with ease, and thanks to its lightweight build, it’s a favourite in classrooms and home studios alike. Includes a wooden stand (145 x 50 x 80 mm) for display or storage.

Large Sláma Press /60 Balls
Designed for formats larger than A4, the /60 model features a wooden handle and allows the addition of extra weights for increased pressure. Built with sixty stainless steel balls, it excels when printing on thicker papers (250 g/m² and above) and textiles. It offers two grip styles – either with the wooden handle or a steel cover – depending on your preferred workflow. Includes a wooden stand (145 x 125 x 150 mm) for display or storage.

Large Sláma Press /150 Balls
The /150 version is your go-to for larger format printing on medium-weight paper (up to approx. 250 g/m²). Also equipped with a wooden handle and optional weights, this press is perfect for artists seeking a broader surface area and added control. Like the /60, it supports both grip configurations. Includes a wooden stand (145 x 125 x 150 mm) for display or storage.
