This press can be used for all techniques of relief printing up to a seize A4 . The special designed handle forms a double lever arm mechanism which applies pressure to the plate.
Different thickness of printing plates are possible in various types. Due to the construction of the press it is necessary to adjust the height of the handlever so that it will not touch the round locking shaft in the middle of the press, because this will reduce the maximum possible pressure. When the handlever touches the locking shaft during printing you have to adjust the upper plywood plate, either by using the second set of holes for the locking shaft or with help of inserted boards between the platens (or both).. |
