Dick Blick Art Supply sells both the mounted and unmounted variety.http://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-battleship-gray-linoleum/Even with the mounted ones, you may have to do some make-ready to make them type high, but I do think it works a bit better than the unmounted variety.

Argh. So annoying, but thanks for letting us know. I ordered a few blocks, but they haven’t arrived yet. And thanks for the note about art-boards.com!

Unless they’ve changed it, they’re not really type-high- I ordered some and they are the standard mounted grey stuff- about 3/4 inch high. Dick Blick also advertised type-high blocks, which were the same 3/4 inch, and I called and expressed my extreme disappointment with their advertising. So, if you’ve ordered them, measure! And, if they really…[Read more]

Thank you Camille, after doing a bit of research and following your pricing guideline I decided it would just be too expensive to ship this press so I am going to keep looking for something more local to me. This one was a 12×18 C&P. I am going to keep an eye out for either a 10×15 or 12×18 and see what comes up here in Seattle. Thanks again!Adina

Hi Bunny,There should be plenty of riggers near you. What press are you moving? Can you lag bolt it to solid 4×4? Can you bolt it to a heavy duty skid? If so, you could build a crate around it, making sure to brace it good. Remove as many parts as you can and box those separately. Shipping is usually around $1.00 per pound. Any freight company can…[Read more]

I can’t suggest any west coast movers, but my advice is GET IT INSURED! Heard about a press that was destroyed in shipping by an incompetent “rigger.”

http://www.custompaper.comhttp://www.flowerseedpaper.comhttp://www.wholesalesupplies.bizWe sell full sheets in card weight. For coaster thickness you would have to laminate them to heavier stock.

Ahh yes, contortion works a treat. My head hurt trying to work out which way to turn!

Depending on how much time you have, my converter turns around small quantities really fast. Email John at jsmaglik@yahoo.com.

Contortion, it’s the only way to go. Do you have a set of impression blocks? I found that these were the only thing that allowed me to get the consistency I needed. Can’t remember where I got them now.

Hello! You may want to check the alignment of your platen:http://www.apa-letterpress.com/T%20&%20P%20ARTICLES/Press%20&%20Presswork/Leveling%20the%20platen.htmlDo you own a roller gauge? That may be something else to check, even if you’ve taped your rails. You can sort of use your roller gauge to check if your platen is level, too. Briar Press has…[Read more]

I did an AirBNB last time- it was great. Perhaps we could look for an apartment for a few people?
