Using the Flexible Tympan

The Flexible Tympan by Lyme Bay Press makes it so much easier to get your work straight and lined up just where you want it to be. This video explains how to set iit up and print using a C&P treadle press but the process is the same on all presses. The tympan sheets are also available for 8x5 size presses but the sheets can be cut to size if you have an awkward platen size.
We mention the use of other items in the video and there is a list of them below, including a link to the tympan sheets themselves.
Thank you for checking this out and joining the most uncomfortable person in front of a camera!

Just thought I'd let you know I've been sat watching ALL your videos tonight and they are bloody brilliant! Picked up so many tips from them - just need to sack off all my boring customers now and make enough time to get printing before I forget it all!! Far better value than any offering on terrestrial telly this evening! Well done you!

Ahhh this is awesome thank you!

[@poolhallrichard]

Great stuff Lisa. Currently binge-watching them all. As a matter of interest, what do you use as your single sheet base tympan onto the metal of your press? Rob

[@LymeBayPress]

poolhallrichard helloooo and thank you :) I only use simple copier paper on the Chandler, thin enough to allow me to add more if needed and not to expensive to recycle on a job by job basis!!

Hi . do you think by this kind of printing press machine , can I replace the printing block with polyester Smart plate after image printed on it by using laser printing machine ? Thank you

[@LymeBayPress]

Do you mean the mounting base that's in the press?? or the actual plate, I'm not familar with Polyester Smart Plate :)
