The Presses

Vandercook SP15

My primary press is a manual-inking Vandercook SP15 for printing linoleum blocks and metal type. The ink is distributed as the press rolls over the bed via hand-cranked rubber rollers.

Vandercook Proof Press No. 2

Built in 1934, this proofing press requires hand-inking with a brayer, and has no grippers to hold the paper, but has a large press bed.

Ettan etching press

This press is ideal for the pressure and control needed for producing etchings and monopronts.
