Artequip Etching Presses
have been designed for private, professional and educational use.
The presses are available
in a range of sizes:
A
series: Small direct drive presses
B
series: Medium size with geared drive
C
series: Large floor mounted presses
The presses are designed
and manufactured in our Braeside (Vic.) factory. This gives us
complete control over every aspect of their production.
Care has been taken
to select finishes resistant to the acid/solvent environment of
a print making studio and to enable the presses to be easily cleaned.
A and B series presses are finished in a black polyester powdercoat.
The larger C series presses are finished in an industrial enamel
paint of the customer's choice on all presses; working surfaces,
including the handwheel rim are chrome plated.
A variety of options
and accessories are available for all presses:
Steel Bed -
High quality plate steel which has been stress relieved and surface
ground both sides.
Tufnol Bed -
A lightweight/high strength phenolic resin based laminate. Tufnol
is 1/6, the weight of steel, offering considerable transport and
safety advantages.
Micrometers - An
aid to adjusting printing pressure and getting an even print across
the press Available as an option on B & C series presses. Our
Micrometers are the Barrel and Thimble type, built into the pressure
screw.
Stand options - A series presses are designed for the
benchtop but can be stand mounted if desired. C series presses
do not require a stand.
