Product Information

Overview

The Conrad E-24 floor model etching press is the ideal press for printmakers who want the stregnth and durability of a floor model press but don't have a large studio. With a print area of 24" x 48", the E-24 is capable of printing larger paper sheets with the full options of a professional floor model press.

The acclaimed E-24 floor model press design features large sealed bearings, impressive roll sizes, and the renowned Conrad planetary geared reduction drive. With it's solid steel or aluminim bed, this floor model press is designed for the highest pressure prints like etching/intaglio, photo gravure, and solar plates.
