Little Thumper Bench Top Printing Press stand optional

This is our smallest multi-printer etching press in our range, it is chunky and fun to use, it is portable but still has some weight to it, it is brilliant for workshops, the travelling printmaker or for a professional printmaking studio. It prints all intaglio and relief plates from all etchings, photo-etchings and dry points up to thick woodblocks and letterpress. Your Gunning Etching Printing Press comes with a blanket and runners so you are ready to print. You can pick your press up from us or have it delivered by courier or we can deliver, set up and print with you to make sure you know your way around your new press. If you would like to come to our beautiful printmaking studio and Gallery, and print with our presses before you buy, ring or email to make an appointment – bring your own plates or print some of ours.
