Subject: [Baren 31433] nipping press
Send Message: To this poster

Hi all,

I hope the show went well for everyone...

Here's another newbie question! I just bought a cast-iron nipping press
off eBay. Assuming that there has to be more in the "press sandwich"
than just lino/wood block and paper, what should I put in there -- would
a felt sheet or a thin rubber mat help with the impression at all?

many thanks,

David H

ps. Thanks to all for the advice about inks. I picked up some Graphic &
Chemical water-based and some washable oil-based inks at the weekend --
can't wait to try them both over the next couple of days.
