Table Top Etching Press 3621 - 250MM - With 3MM Felt Mat

Manufacturer	Fome
Model Number	8026959362114

The table top etching press 3621 is a portable press from Italy that is well engineered and has a solid steel roller and metal bed. The lifting up of the top roller is for relief printing only and 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.
