Summary

The Open Press is a 3D-printed etching press, designed to make printmaking accessible!
Please visit our website for instructions on how to print one: https://openpressproject.com/blogs/news/how-to-3d-print-your-own-printing-press

About two years ago we noticed that intaglio printmaking is only accessible to a small group of artists, most of which have the option to get themselves one of the very expensive and heavy printing presses or work in one of the very few printmaking workshops in art universities or private institutions. And because we love these very old and beautiful art techniques so much, we wanted to give more people the option to use them for their art in places where printmaking wasn’t possible before. We figured that the main challenge is to get access an etching press, that’s the tool you need in order to print etchings, engravings, drypoints & co.

Our solution is the Open Press Project, a tiny 3D-printed etching press that will let you use these techniques outdoors, in your living room or small studio!
