Large ball press

Developed and manufactured in the Czech Republic, the SLÁMA PRESS presses are powerful, ingenious, ergonomic and beautiful tools.
The originality of the SLÁMA PRESS system lies in the combined action of the rotation of the balls and the rotation of the plate in which the balls are held. This system, designed for relief printing ( linoleum, wood, etc.), ensures a homogeneous and efficient pressure and does not require any particular physical force, also allowing the use by young printmakers from 5 years old.

This Large press model is suitable for manual printing of large formats.
This ball system also allows the printing of monotypes, lithographs or even etching

You can choose 60 10mm diameter balls or 150 6mm diamater balls .The greater the number of balls the richer the print is as more pressure points are concentrated in the same area.  However, this applies to only specific and thus limited paper weight. The Model 150 Press is recommended for printing on paper up to 250gsm of paper weight. The Model 60 Press is more suitable for paper thicker than 250gsm.

Additional weights are available to increase pressure and make printing easier. Up to 5 weights can be added
