Printmaking Press Plans – Build your own pocket press

Build a printmaking press with these hand drawn plans. The pocket press prints etchings, linocuts, woodblocks and monoprints of any size by concentrating your strength. This press takes a different approach to printing. It uses small rollers that press in overlapping rows. This method can do what a large roller does, saving printmakers money and space. This is also an excellent printing press to travel with.

Materials are available at most local hardware stores. The download also includes tips for finding parts if they are not in stock at your local hardware store.

This automatic download includes an additional file with advice on finding parts, suggestions for alternative materials, plus a coupon.

If you purchase these plans for bulk use, I ask that you buy one set of plans per student to support my small enterprise.
