RGM Etching Press – Large (3550)

RGM is an Italian manufacturer best known for its painting and palette knives, and it also builds printmaking tools including these tabletop presses. Made in Italy, they bring the even, controlled pressure of a roller press to the home studio, classroom or small print workshop.

The compact 2642 models are portable enough for a table or bench: the Small Advanced etching press is set up for intaglio, while the Etching & Lino version is designed to handle relief blocks as well. The larger 3550 and 3570 presses offer a bigger bed and weightier build for larger plates and longer print runs.

Use with dampened paper and felts for etching, drypoint and collagraph, and with suitable packing for lino and woodcut. Please contact us if you would like full dimensions and bed sizes before ordering.
