Your cart is empty.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.

I have to really press hard to get a good monotype, but the results aren’t bad. So far it works best with smooth copy paper. For other paper not so well. I may have to use more ink than I’m used to for heavier paper.

Love this for drypoint etching prints. Easy to store in tiny studio. Takes some practice to get right pressure.

I like everything, dislike nothing. It does such a wonderful job. So far I’ve used the Pin Press with mounted linos, unmounted linos, etched plastic and Copper. It has taken awhile for me to find the right pressure, not too much is actually needed for beautiful prints. I was hesitant to spend the money on the press but I am very pleased and no regrets. It also is a cool piece of sculpture and it doesn’t roll off the table. Oh Yeah, it is wide enough to print large pieces.

I purchased this Pin press so I could do some monotyping at home. It is beautifully made, hefty, and works great on my glass slab. Highly recommend!
