This is the smallest little printing press we could come up with!
With its ball bearings and stainless steel roller it can be used for any intaglio and relief printing technique, like drypoint, etching, engraving or lino- and woodcuts of up to 13mm thickness. We challenge you to use it to make the tiniest of prints!
We usually manufacture larger (but still mini) 3D-printed presses and have used all our knowledge of international logistics, batch production in 3D printing and press-making we’ve acquired over the past 5 years to come up with this little gem of a press. It's actually more difficult to manufacture and the hardware is trickier to source, but we did it anyway. This is actually the second edition of this truly tiny press. We first made them in 2021 and got so much great feedback and people asking us to make them again that we decided to make this gold edition - who are we to deprive the people of the tiny little printing presses they want!?
The included table clamp lets you attach the little press to a work surface and have both your hands free to handle inked up plate, paper and press on a tiny scale. We hope you have a lot of dexterity - you’ll need it!
With a press bed of 40x73mm (ca. 1.6 x 2.9 inches) the work area is truly tiny, but the possibilities are endless!
The press comes:
- as a fully assembled tiny 3D printed printing press with stainless steel roller and ball bearings,
- with small wing bolts to adjust pressure,
- a woven wool blanket for high quality intaglio prints,
- a clamp to attach press to a table,
- a quickstart guide,
- a drypoint needle with 3D printed grip
Note: All our stamp kits are assembled and ready to ship. International delivery usually takes 8-14 days.
