An etching press (or intaglio press) is a type of printing press made up of two parallel rollers with a flat plate known as a bed that rolls between these rollers under pressure.

An inked matrix is placed on top of the bed with paper and printmaking blankets on top. It is then cranked through the press, which uses adjustable pressure depending on your matrix thickness and desired results to transfer the image from the matrix to the paper where ink was applied.

We guarantee our new presses and materials to the original owner to be without defects for a lifetime and will repair or replace at our discretion. We do not cover normal wear and tear including warped beds, misuse, abuse, neglect or damage caused during use or transportation if moved after original installation.

Plated rollers (nickel plating or hard chrome plating) on your etching press provide several benefits for the metal cylinders. It helps to prevent corrosion and wear, which prolongs the life of the roller, and reduces the need for maintenance. It also improves the appearance of the roller, making it more visually appealing.

Unlike traditional liquid paint or other chemical finishes, powder coating does not release any VOCs into the air, making it the safer and more environmentally-friendly choice for finishing our presses.

Powder coating offers a tremendous amount of color and texture options, and is highly durable. It is resistant to chipping, scratching and fading. It is also able to handle exposure to chemicals, UV light and harsh conditions while being low maintenance and easy to clean.
