Features

CENTERING LINES

Each lino printing press has centering lines which we have carefully laser burnt onto the bottom plate of the press. The centering lines form a matrix which makes relief printing easier. This also helps to ensure you always position the paper exactly in the center of the machine. 

The lines feature a centering cross, as well as the various paper sizes the lino press supports. For the A4 relief printing, this includes lines in A6, A5, and A4 sizes.

TWO LEVERS FOR EACH PRESS SIZE

For maximum comfort when relief printing, our different size linocut presses feature two levers for each press size. This makes it easier to apply even pressure on linocut prints by simply leaning into the machine with both hands. The movement of the levers is extremely smooth, too, ensuring that even kids can apply the right pressure every time. 

A4 FORMAT SIZE

The medium size linocut press is a welcome companion in any studio, home, cottage, or open-air space. Really, it’s possible to take this relief printing press anywhere thanks to its compact size and portability. It’s also easy to store on any shelf, or away in cupboards when you are not lino printing. This lino press is popular with all of our customers, from professional to hobbyist and beginner linocut printmakers. This is thanks to the artist-friendly design of the machine, which makes it both extremely easy to operate, and to carry on-the-go.

FULL EDGE PRINT

Each of our portable lino printing presses feature wooden press plates that are larger on the sides by 1 cm more than the specific paper format. This not only ensures that it is always easy to insert paper. It also makes it possible to print to the paper’s very edge. For this, the wooden pressing plate of the A4 lino press is 320 x 230 mm in size.

STABLE PRESSURE

The complete thickness of the relief printing plate is 48 mm, guaranteeing even pressure across the entire printing surface. 

Also notice the cedar color paint on the plates, which matches the natural color of the linocut press. 

ADJUSTABLE TILT

The top plate of the lino printing press has an adjustable tilt, ensuring it rests evenly on the matrix and paper during relief printing. For this, there are adjustments on the sides of the machine. These are easily adjustable to move the top plate into position, and to lock the plate back into place.

EXTREMELY DURABLE

With a steel frame coated in powder, the A4 type lino press is both durable and easy to wash. The machine has 5 mm-thick flat steel bars, and has a load capacity up to 100 kg.

NON-SLIPPERY

Rubber strips on the bottom of the press function to keep your machine in place no matter how much pressure you apply to printing. They offer slip protection, and also help to protect workspace surfaces from scratches. Additionally, the linocut press has pre-drilled holes in the base so that you can securely mount it to workspace surfaces.  

GIFT

With every linocut press purchase, the felt we add to each press is free for our customers. We choose a felt that is strong, and also an ideal thickness for even pressure across the entire surface of the lino printing press.
