Fome Table Top Etching Press (3621) - 250mm - With 3mm Felt Mat

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 to attach this press to a table so you can get enough leverage for proper printing function.SpecificationsWeight: 8.5 Kg Length: 25 cm Width: 31.5 cm Height: 17 cm Width of ruler: 25.5 cm Diam. lower roller: 3.5 cm Diam. upper roller: 3.5 cm Metal plate: 26.8 x 42 x 0.3 cmMaximum board or lino thickness: 1.7cmRead our series of blog posts about setting up and using the Fome School Etching Press.Other Fome Presses available here.Replacement Fome Felt Mats available here.
