Delivery & Set Up, Courier or Collection?

Several options as to how you get your etching printing press and materials are available.

We can deliver and set up your press for you, with or without a workshop anywhere in the world.

If we are delivering and setting up your new printing press, we will do exactly that. We will arrange a date and time which is best for you.

We have a dedicated van that we use to deliver all our etching presses. If you are in another country, we will send your press by crate first and then printmakers who are setting up your press for you will travel separately.

We will then set up your press in your studio for you, and then print with you using either your plates or ours. We always bring with us all the different brands of inks so you can use the ink you are used to. Paper and water baths as well as every type of plate that can be printed on the press including the following.

Dry-points, etchings, solar plates, collagraphs, monoprints, monotypes any thickness of woodblocks, linos, reductions, Japanese ply, carborundum, photopolymer, mezzotint, letterpress and a few other plates.

If you would like to have a workshop as well as the delivery and set up we offer workshops in all the above printmaking mediums including all the different ways of making, inking and printing.

We can arrange a date and time that suits you and then you can come and pick up from us. We give a free walk through of the press and we dismantle it infront of you, wrapping it and packing it into your car for you, so you will know how it goes back together when you get back to your studio.

You can have a printmaking workshop using your new printing press with us in our printmaking studios if you wish, so that you can print all the different thicknesses of plates with us, so you can get used to changing the pressure and get used to using your new printing press.
