The presses in the JW-series are designed for heavy duty use in, for example, printmaking studios. Construction is similar to the JPV-series, the differences having to do with heavier production needs. A heavy wheel drives the lower roller through a sealed gear box at a ratio of 1:10. Like all of our intaglio presses the upper roller is spring mounted making it suitable for relief printing. Shims of leather or cardboard can be placed under the spindles, thus providing more flexibility during printing. The hard synthetic bed plate runs, without play, between adjustable right angled guide strips which are mounted to the side frames. Apart from the bedsize, the only difference between the JW-80 and the two bigger JW presses is the frame length. As far as delivery is concerned, we prefer to ship this press assembled, even if this means disassembling it at site to facilitate delivery.
