It is always exciting making something work that was destined for the scrap heap. In this post, we test the now operational Pullan proofing press.

Some time ago, we were contacted about an old etching press that was about to be sent to scrap. It had been in use for many years at the Epsom Teacher’s College in Auckland, New Zealand but had since been moved around and left out in the elements as a piece of “visual art”. Not really knowing if we could use it, we decided to at least grab it before it was smashed up.
