Built for serious printmakers, this robust press is ideal for linocuts, woodcuts, etchings, and intaglio printing. The solid cast aluminium frame offers excellent stability, while the newly developed planetary gearbox ensures smoother, more controlled operation – giving you precision without the strain. Both the upper and lower rollers are made from solid steel and measure an impressive 80 mm in diameter – a rare feature in presses of this class. The pressure is adjustable on both sides via star handles, so you can fine-tune it to suit different techniques and materials. A four-spoke handwheel drives the system through a 3:1 reduction planetary gear, allowing the bed to glide effortlessly in the same direction as the handwheel. No awkward counter-direction turns here – just intuitive movement and smooth control. The press bed itself is constructed from durable multiplex with a screwed-on, electrolytically galvanised steel plate. It moves through roller friction, aided by specially coated side strips designed to minimise resistance and ensure consistent alignment. The press plate is larger than A2, but shy of full A1 – ideal for more ambitious prints without committing to an oversized format.

Whether you’re printing fine intaglio or bold relief prints, this press is engineered to handle it with ease and elegance. A fantastic studio companion for printmakers who demand quality, control, and lasting performance.
