Rolfes Metal Block Printing Press

The Rolfes Metal Block Printing Press is designed to help artists, students and printmakers produce clean, consistent prints with minimal effort. The sturdy steel construction provides excellent stability while the adjustable pressure mechanism ensures even contact across the printing surface.

Unlike hand burnishing methods, the press applies firm, uniform pressure across the entire block, helping to improve ink transfer and print clarity. The compact tabletop design makes it ideal for classrooms, studios, workshops and home printmaking environments.

The adjustable press plate accommodates a variety of block and paper thicknesses, making it suitable for lino printing, relief printing, woodblock printing, stamp making and other printmaking techniques.

When not in use, the handle folds down for easier storage and transport. Despite its robust construction, the press remains portable enough to take to workshops, demonstrations and classes.
