Adana 8 5 tabletop press refurbished by Calson

Adana 8 5 tabletop press for sale plus everything you need to get started printing! This is a NEW PRESS having been refurbished by the Caslon company.

I am selling my press because although I love the look for letterpress, I simply do not have the time to put into it. It isn’t the direction I want to go in my printing but it should go to a good home. It is a great press and in perfect working condition.
