Pocket Press Kit Bulk Order of 10

The Pocket Press is the small printing press that can print big.

The Pocket Press prints intaglio, relief and monoprints. Each printmaking kit includes the handheld pocket press, plus everything needed to set up your a printmaking station at home or on the go. Each will be individually packaged for retail.

Each kit includes:

• five 3.5″ x 2.5″ pocket presses
• five 9″ x 8″ rubber press beds
• ten 9″ x 8″ felt blankets
• five large clips for clipping your printmaking station to the edge of a desk or table
• illustrated instructions

Essentially a handheld etching press, the Pocket Press works by concentrating your strength and pressing in overlapping rows. Be sure to stand up, and only press forward.

I recommend starting with a water based ink and soaking high quality papers for 20-30 minutes. Refer to my blog for insight on using this press with a variety of inks, paints and substrates.

Watch the video below to see how it works!

I make each small printing press by hand, drilling and sanding each wood block before constructing and affixing the roller hardware and branding each press. I cut all the felt blankets and rubber platens by hand, too.

I strive to be a zero waste enterprise, and this may mean the color of your press parts or your felt will vary depending on which option is greenest. Your kit may arrive in a padded envelope instead of a box for the same reason- I always try to reuse packaging to save trees and cut down on plastic waste.
