This is the most popular machine in our range. It hast a flexible sized bed 15 x 30 inch. It weighs in at 35kg but dismantles into three parts within just a few minutes with minimal use of tools or complexity. The star wheel pops of after removing one bolt and the bed pops out once one of the safety stops are removed. No spanners are required as wing nuts are used on all bolts. Assembly is reverse and just as quick. So for the permanent studio location, out and about workshops or printing on holiday this is the perfect machine.

Worcestershire Arts education have purchased several of these machines over the years . They pass them around to junior schools, secondary and sixth form colleges throughout the school year. You can imagine that they get absolutely hammered by the hundreds of schoolchildren who use them on a weekly basis. High qulity, simple design and robust materials keep my machines low maintenance which means themachines in the school firing line keep working without any problems.

Print for a lifetime and pass your machine on to another printmaker who deserves it !

No 1 machine is a star. Its portable fun to use and remember hand made by me so you know its going to last.

 

 

 

 

Press No. 1 is a favorite of Professional Artists, Schools, Colleges and Universities
Foundation Studies at the University of West England use this particular press
because it has been designed to be very reliable and versatile. The flywheel and
bed can be easily removed and although built on a solid platform, it is easy enough to move from room to room.
