Greetings! This is the monthly automated informational message showcasing the flatbed proofing presses available at Reflex Letterpress for rental use.

We have two Vandercook No 4s available for use. Image 1 shows the Tulsa press, assembled 1948, in the Main Room, and it is available to all renters. Image 2 shows the Nahant press, assembled 1951, in the Production Room, and it is available for production renters, although special arrangements can be made for other usage.

These presses are slower but very precise, and the flat bed allows more leeway in setting formes and more impression depth with photopolymer or copper plates. They are also a bit safer, and are perfect for people new to the process or those who are getting back up to speed.

Feel free to contact us through the Linktree or website about how to rent and how to learn to use our machinery!

Greetings! This is the monthly automated informational message showcasing the platen presses available at Reflex Letterpress for rental use.

We have two Golding platen presses available for use. Image 1 shows the Pearl Improved No 8, assembled 1912, in the Main Room, and it is available to all renters. This press is powered by a manual treadle. Image 2 shows the Jobber 7, assembled circa 1920, in the Production Room, and it is available for production renters, although special arrangements can be made for other usage. This press is powered by a variable speed electric motor.

These presses were intended for wholesale production and are faster than the flatbed presses. They are also harder to keep in register for inexperienced operators, require careful lockups to keep the forme secure, and were designed before workplace safety was a business requirement. Interested renters will need to show appropriate skills and training before use, although the Pearl is easier and safer to use than the Jobber. We are also more than happy to provide comprehensive instruction in their use and production.

Feel free to contact us through the Linktree or website about how to rent and how to learn to use our machinery!
