Our Machines

It's not that were so proud of our equipment that we have to talk of it incessantly, but that being said...

Perhaps the most versatile of the bunch is the Chandler & Price 8 x 12 old style platen press. Dating from 1890, it's also by far the oldest.

When size Does matter, there's the Vandercook 219, old style as well, allowing a print size of 19 x 26 inches. That's a detail of it to the left.

When quanity is important, we break out the Webendorfer/Little Giant Number 2 automatic cylinder press. A chase size of 10 x 15 inches and a speed of 2700 impressions per hour makes this a very versatile machine.

We also employ the use of a Polimero polymer platemaker by Houtstra. This means we can give you the impression you probably want and not destroy our precious type. Go technology!
