Description
The Marie’s Intaglio Press Machine is a compact, manual printmaking press designed for small to medium intaglio plates, including drypoint, etching, and light relief printing. Ideal for home studios, students, and artists working at a smaller scale, this press offers reliable pressure control in a space-efficient design.
Available Sizes
This press is available in two plate size options:
-
170 × 350 mm (plate size)
-
250 × 500 mm (plate size)
Important: Plate Size vs Paper Size
The dimensions listed refer to the maximum plate size, not the paper size.
To allow for blankets, margins, and handling:
-
The usable paper size must be smaller than the plate size
-
A4 paper (210 × 297 mm) may not be suitable at full width, particularly for the 170 × 350 mm model
-
Even with the 250 × 500 mm model, margins and blankets will reduce the maximum usable paper area
If you intend to print full A4 or larger artworks, we strongly recommend choosing a press with a wider roller bed to ensure proper clearance and ease of use.
