Type of review

After a few days of fiddling I managed to get the press working fine and am happy with the prints. There were no instructions in the box, I've never owned and never used a printing press, so my setup is the result of a google search and a youtube video (Fome and Creative Mark engravers appear to be identical, Jerry's Artarama and Jackson's Art had lots of useful feedback and information) A few things helped: 1. Lubricate all moving parts2. Fix the press firmly on the work surface 3. Make guides

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

I've been waiting to try this, not good don't worry

I started renovating my home shortly after purchasing it so I decided to wait to set it up until I got my job had and the rest of the house is reassembled and functional. Recently I opened the box and created the long-awaited print area. I created my block and was ready to run a test print to make the necessary adjustments and finalize the image. Unfortunately, the press platform could not be pushed properly by the roller. The bottom roller moved normally, but simply slid along the press frame…

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • So far so good
