Reviews

Designed to be ideally suited to a range of techniques, the Speedball Etching Press with Phenolic Bed can be used for printing etchings, monotype, and drypoint plates, woodcuts, and linocuts. Choose from two sizes and two gear types.

The phenolic bed is made of 6 mm thermoset resin. It's lighter than steel and won't warp or rust.

Speedball Etching Presses are bottom-roller driven. The lower roller forces the bed through the press and the top roller supplies the pressure. Both rollers are mounted on self-aligning bearings.

The top roller is zinc-plated and adjustable for pressure setting. The bottom roller is serrated to help grab and guide the plate bed.

Each etching press is equipped with pressure dial readings to allow for consistent pressure application.

Speedball Etching Presses include a five-year full replacement warranty.

Choose a Direct Drive or Gear Drive press.

Press Stand — For the 24" x 36" Phenolic Bed Press only.

Gear Drive — For this press, gears are incorporated to make it easier and smoother to operate. The 12" x 24" press has a powder-coated ABS plastic hand crank, and the gear drive ratio is 2:1. The 24" x 36" press has a powder-coated black star wheel handle with four spokes, and its ratio is 4:1.

Direct Drive — The roller turns 360 degrees when the handle turns 360 degrees. The handle is a powder-coated ABS plastic hand crank.
