8x12 Chandler + Price platen press
AKA: Bessy

Birthplace / year
Cleveland, Ohio / c. 1911

Adopted by us
2003

Good for
Printing small items and scoring

Little known facts
I still have my original motor that was added to me when people stopped using my foot treadle. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.

Birthplace / year

Adopted by us

Good for
Printing everything (the workhorse)

Little known facts
I was rescued from a dusty, musty, rusty garage in Catonsville, Maryland, which is where my nickname originated. I am the most loved press in the shop.

10x15 Heidelberg "Windmill" platen press
AKA: Olga

Birthplace / year
Heidelberg, Germany / c. 1978

Adopted by us

Good for
Die cutting, scoring, and long print runs

Little known facts
I am the youngest press in the studio by nearly 70 years. In fact, many presses just like me are still used in many modern commercial print shops.

Mystery press
AKA: Mysterio

Birthplace / year
Unknown

Adopted by us
2009

Good for
Nothing, so far

Little known facts
No one knows what I am. I seem to be a mish-mash of presses which makes me difficult to buy parts for. If I could talk I'd love to fill you in on my history.

Chandler + Price platen press
AKA: Skinny Bitch

Birthplace / year
Cleveland, OH / c. 1915

Adopted by us
2009

Good for
A drink rest, so far

Little known facts
They call me Skinny Bitch since I am the tallest and skinniest press in the studio. It would be great if someone could find the time to scrape my rust off.
