The Akua Pin Press is a portable press designed for light pressure printing processes such as Monotype, Drypoint and Collagraph. It offers an economical alternative to standard printmaking presses. The Pin Press is 20 inches long, which allows for printing from plates 19 3/4 inches or smaller, and is precisely machined to provide uniform contact between roller, plate and paper. Its crescent-shaped handles allow for ergonomic printing while also acting as the press' stand when not in use.
