A3 - Linocut Press

Overview

The A3 Linocut Printing Press is the largest lino press we offer for relief printing in A3 size formats. It also comfortably supports smaller A6, A5, and A4 print sizes.

In addition to linocut printing, the press size is popular as a block printing press, and for different types of relief printing. These include textile printing (clothing, bags, etc), woodcut printing, letterpress, plant pressing, flower linocut printing, and more.

This linocut printing press is ideal for artists of all levels, from beginner to hobbyist and professionals. And despite its larger size, it is easily mobile for relief printing anywhere on-the-go.

Features

CENTERING LINES

Each linocut printing press features carefully laser-burnt centering lines on the bottom plate of the press. The centering lines form a matrix so that positioning paper at the exact center of the plate is easy. This also makes relief printing on our hand linocut press easier overall for any size paper format.

The lines have a centering cross and lines for each of the paper sizes: A3, A4, A5, and A6 print sizes.

TWO LEVERS FOR EACH PRESS SIZE

Like every lino print press we make, the A3 Lino Press has two handles for optimal comfort when relief printing. This allows for leaning into the press with both hands on the handles above the plate. The levers have little resistance, and smooth movement to ensure even pressure when pressing down. They are also durable enough so that even young ones can lino print, with little risk of damaging the press. 

A3 FORMAT SIZE

The A3 size lino printing press is popular among artists as the largest of our lino presses. Its design is ideal for printing in different sizes and styles. It comfortably supports print sizes A3 through A6, making it one of the best linocut presses for beginners. The various print sizes are optimal for learning to lino print, or for block printing, woodcut printing, letterpress, plant pressing, and more.

FULL EDGE PRINT

Each lino press has wooden press plates which are larger on the sides by 1 cm more than the specific paper format. This way, it is not only easy to insert paper. It is possible to print to the very edge of the paper. 

For the A5 Linocut Press, the wooden pressing plates are 440 x 320 mm in size.

STABLE PRESSURE

A relief printing plate with a total thickness of 48 mm ensures even pressure across the entire printing surface. The 2-lever mechanism also helps for this thanks to its smooth movement, and overall usability. Also, notice the cedar color of the plates, which match the natural colors of the rest of the lino press. 

ADJUSTABLE TILT

The top plate of our lino press has an adjustable tilt to move and lock the top plate into position. This ensures the plate rests evenly on the matrix and paper during relief printing at all times. Simply loosen the adjustments on the side of the machine, adjust the tilt, and tighten the plate into place again. 

EXTREMELY DURABLE

Our linocut presses have a steel frame with a powder coat, making it both durable and easy to keep clean. The machine also has 5 mm-thick flat steel bars, and a total load capacity up to 100 kg.

NON-SLIPPERY

You simply can’t have your lino press moving around when you apply pressure to it. Thus, all of our linocut print machines feature rubber strips on the bottom of the press. These offer both slip protection, and protect workspace surfaces from damage. In addition to this, each linocut press has holes in the base for secure mounting to a workspace area. 

GIFT

Finally, anytime a customer buys a linocut press, we select the perfect felt for their machine, and include it for free. The felt we add to each press is always strong, and the ideal thickness. This ensures even pressure across the entire surface of the press, and a nice look in general.
