r a w edition (Frances 24X50)
The r a w edition.
Before any of our presses are finished and received by their new owners, a massive amount of time and effort is put into designing and prototyping behind the scenes to make sure everything on the press will not only work to our satisfaction, but also embody the design aesthetics that we hold true to.
These prototypes are designed first on paper and then rough scratch built. Then built with solid steel, torn apart, reshaped, redesigned, and rinse and repeat over and over until the final press design is resolved.
r a w edition is something new for us, a bit of an experiment. Now available is the first in many one time opportunities to have your own super custom press, built for photogravure, mezzotint, intaglio, relief, embossing, and squishing tortillas before it goes to surface treatment.
Selling at a discount price, this is a one-off press. You save on the lack of surface treatment so that you can make it your own. This press with surface treatments will sell for over $14,000.00!!!
We have left the witness marks, the production marks, all of the elements of fabrication that goes into the prototyping before finish coatings. Evidence of our hands.
This is a Francis 24X50 size press complete with 4” bottom cylinder, 6” top cylinder, all solid steel frame, 5:1 gear reduction, 13” crank handle, steel pressure gauges, t-slip handles, and a 24” x 50” precision ground reversible steel bed.
When you get it, print with it, make whatever you want, paint it whatever colour, it is yours.
We just wanted to show the hidden hard labour that goes into every precision made press before the final surface treatments.
