S1E4 Platen Press Perfection

In this episode we’re talking all about our favorite kind of printing press: The Platen Press!! Platens range from small table top presses, to the extreme machines known as the “windmills”, but most importantly, they are often the first machines used by new printers. We share our favorite pros and cons of owning our floor model “jobbers” and you’ll even hear Moriah tell the tale of turning on her press’ motor for the first time! Have a question about platen presses? Send us a message on social media! @hotoffthepresspod. We’ll be answering listener questions on an upcoming episode!
