Thank you, wasted so much paper. Slipping paper, weight wasn't correct, inking and so on.

Is this any good for Lino please?

@EvelineKolijn Жыл бұрын

yes, as long as you have runners the thickness of your lino at each side of your press plate to position the roller at the same height as the lino block, before you run over it. Otherwise, you push the block forward. This is a general technique for writing lino on any press.

The solution for me is I use drawer lining to set my plate on and it never moves.

You can also use a silicone oven mat on the metal plate! I just tried it and it works perfectly :)

Wow, I thought I was the only one who did that! Yes, it's the perfect material for that purpose.

@@foxo4992 Hello may I ask how you stuck the oven mat to the steel plate please. Cheers

@foxo4992 Ай бұрын

@@JMRead-vm9skI should clarify that I've used that method for Lino printing, not yet for etching. But, in any case, you don't need it to stick to the plate. What you would do is lay the plate down, ready to print. Then the paper, then on top of that goes the silicone. Its softness will help the paper penetrate all the recessed lines. Does that help at all?

Thank you very much for the video. Half a year ago I started to make prints at my home studio and made a choice between the FOME mini press and the same size press by Marie's. In the end, I've chosen Marie's press - it was even cheaper, and has a much bigger and heavier roller. Recently I thought about selling my current press and buying an A4 size FOME - but from what I've heard, it is better to stay with my current one =) P.S. - Great prints!

How thick is you piece of wood please

@EvelineKolijn 2 жыл бұрын

It is 1/2 inch think, which is around 1.75 cm. Thin is easier to feed through the press, but can warp a bit more. So you can choose ... It also happened to be a piece of wood I had available. So it can be thinner or thicker, as long as the rough roller can grip the wood.

Hi, I don't know if you got it working properly, but I didn't have a wooden plank lying about so I used a silicone oven mat and cut it to size and placed it on the metal plate and that works really well too! It's now got a good grip :)

Hi Eveline, your friend Gwen here: I have this press but haven’t yet set it up. Thanks so much for your review and demo, very generous & helpful! I have an idea about the bed that may work, it’s worth investigating. Background: a small aquatinted copper plate that kept slipping during editioning on my usual press proved much too smooth on its backside. So, I roughened the back of it thoroughly, with coarse sandpaper and drypoint scratchings. This stopped all slipping. Based on this experience, perhaps roughening up the underside of the Fome Press bed which faces the lower cylinder may give it enough purchase against the cylinder to stop slipping. It’s a thought, anyway. I will try that in September, as I can’t get to it beforehand. Let me know if you get a chance to test the theory. I require tremendous pressure for my delicate plate surfaces which range from many grades of superficial greys to deeply seated blacks. And of course, I love your exquisite work!! Gwen

@EvelineKolijn 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Gwen, roughening up the back of the plate is a great idea, especially when you realise many use this press for linocut, which often has a burlap backing. Linocut needs less pressure anyway, but elevated guides for the roller at both sides are a must!

@azalea1404 3 жыл бұрын

It looks to me that the manufactor never tested this print press. Thanks to your creativity and intelligence you succeeded to make it work with the wooden print bed, but I think it's scandalous that the company put it on the market, when it clearly doesn't work with the equipment they provide. Thanks for the great review.

@EvelineKolijn 3 жыл бұрын

To be fair to the manufacturer: I think this press is meant for schools, where they often put linocut through. That needs a lot less pressure and with runners and less pressure, that would probably work.

@mpratt 2 жыл бұрын

And I will add that I put two strips of 3m vinyl electric tape and it allows more pressure on the metal plate and goes through easily. I see 3m makes a wider vinyl tape that may be tougher. The only thing I noticed is to make sure the tape ends are cut smoothly and well stuck down, else it may wrinkle/bunch up on the ends. If the bottom roller tears up the tape, it should be easy to start over by scraping it off with a plastic scraper. From my first attempt, the bottom of the metal plate is a little scuffed up! I would have thought that may have helped, but it didn't. I also had a more secure platform by pushing down on one of the top cross bars...happy printing!

Anna Maria, I should also mention I'm a beginner and haven't gotten great results for what I'm trying to do. I think it possibly doesn't have enough pressure possible for etching (although the Levor one I bought on Amazon claims "etching" press). I'm trying something called silk aquatint because I fell in love with the work of Norman Ackryod and don't want to work with actual aquatint! I will keep trying. I made my own ink and thought perhaps not correctly. I bought Acua etching ink and will give it another go. On the bright side, a previous woodblock print made by hand worked well and I made a monoprint by putting Golden Open acrylics on a plexi plate and that printed well, but may have printed just as well without the press. I don't know. I'm curious how others are doing. Let me know here!
