Custom made lithography and intaglio press company!

My name is Marshall Heaton and I am the owner/operator of Workpress: Custom Made Printing Presses, in Saskatoon Saskatchewan (Canada). I am currently designing custom crafted intaglio and lithography presses for use by artists in North America (and beyond). Each press is unique in that it is built to the printers specifications and with their print media in mind.

There are a number of other details that go into a custom job such as this. I take into consideration you height, physical ability & usual print edition (to better calculate gear ratio), if you are left or right handed, any special needs you might have (wheel chair accessible, motorized press options), size of roller preferred, personal printing preferences, table top model or with stand, and press colour (custom airbrushing also available).

Shipping, brokerage, duty, GST (Canadian Sales Tax), and one set of blankets are included with the intaglio press. Prices for the intaglio presses start at $2,000 Canadian - prices for the lithography presses start at $15,000 Canadian.

Prices are in Canadian funds payable by certified bank cheque in two installments; 30% to place order and the remaining 70% prior to shipping. The timeline from order to shipping is usually one to two months. Please feel free to email or call me at anytime should you have any questions or if you would like to order a press.

All the best,

I am looking for an intaglio press to and am from Boston. I am left handed and was wondering if there is such thing as a press on which you can print from the right side of the press (opposit of what I have always had to do). Looking at 16"x20" for copper plate etching.
