Well engineered portable presses from Italy with solid steel rollers and 3mm thick metal bed. Lifting up the top roller is for relief printing only, you will not be able to print anything but thinner intaglio plates on this press, optimally up to 1mm metal with a decent bevel on or thinner 0.8mm plates like our economy zinc or transparent printing plates. The Fome presses work well for line etching, drypoint, monoprint and relief.It must be stressed that these small press will not print with the same pressure as a larger heavier studio press. If you have designed your prints with your plates, inks, paper using a large heavy press, you will not necessarily be able to reproduce them on these small presses. Putting too much pressure on the presses can damage them.Please Note: The manufacturer recommends attaching this press to a table so you can get enough leverage for proper printing function.SpecificationsWeight: 6 Kg Length: 25 cm Width: 23.5 cm Height: 17 cm Width of roller: 18 cm Diam. lower roller: 3.5 cm Diam. upper roller: 3.5 cm Metal plate: 18.6 x 32 x 0.3 cmMaximum board or lino thickness: 1.7cmAccompanying Fome Felt Mat available here.

Jackson's Polished Copper Etching Plate, made with 0.9mm polished copper plate for etching. The polished surface is protected with a plastic film so simply requires degreasing before applying ground.The back of the plate will require the application of an acid resistant stop out. Copper is a harder metal than zinc and plates will withstand more printing. It is also idealy suited to non-etching intaglio techniques such as drypoint and engraving and mezzotint.
