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:
