#Intaglio press for sale full

These very large diameter drums aid the printmaker tremendously when heavy pressure is being used during the printing process. All drums are nickel plated to eliminate rusting. Maximum drum shaft support is achieved by two self aligning ball bearing support units. Welded drum shaft, support baffles, and heavy wall 10.75' diameter drum stock are machined to precise specifications as a concentric unit. The lower frame unit may be fully disassembled if necessary. This provides the strongest and cleanest weld available. Metal Inert Gas (MIG) weld method is used. 188' wall steel tubing is bolted and welded for maximum strength. These features provide ultra smooth bed travel. These bearings in conjunction with Nylatron wear strips attach to each side frame, assuring minimal bed friction. Uneven printing pressure is eliminated by independently adjustable precision ball bearings supporting the bed.

Allows full press bed travel and maximizes printing area. Uneven printing pressure is eliminated by independently adjustable precision ball bearings supporting the bed.īed Stops secure the moving press bed to the frame. The underside of the bed is also covered with phenolic-resin to protect from moisture.

The working surface will withstand all chemicals used in the printing process and will withstand very high pressures without embossment problems or loss of printing pressure. 25' plate which has a phenolic-resin sheet bonded to the top surface, provides the working surface of the bed. Steel pins, 3/4' inch in diameter, connect bed sections. A. All wood sections are relief cut according to manufacturer's specifications to eliminate bed warp. Three inch thick, staggered grain, hard rock maple wood is the core of our press bed. The upper pressure drum may be raised 1.25' above the bed for relief printing. Micrometer pressure dials are supplied with each press to allow consistent pressure application and repeatability. Printing pressure is applied by lowering the upper pressure drum onto the press bed using the pressure adjusting screws. Riverside, California Etching Press Information Printing Pressure Systems:
