ihprstl Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 A friend of mine has had this for a while and rarely uses it and asked me if I wanted it. Never used one before, but apparently you can also do some other types of printing and die cutting with it. Can't wait to get it! Anyone ever used one of these things?

He just wants to be able to use it every now and then and was hoping that we would be able to put it to good use. I'm sure we will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihprstl Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 I was just told it's a Chandler & Price 12x18 new style platen press from about 1920. I'm going to do some research on it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
