Provisional Press

During the Southwest Print Fiesta 2023 we saw a bunch of Provisional Presses  -- specifically with Joe  Marshall, and also at Power and Light Press during the workshops:

One can put a metal bed in the Provisional Press
and use magnets to hold plates in place




Joe Marshall also provided 
glassine and envelopes for the fresh prints

letterpress proofing press


The PROVISIONAL PRESS is a DIY press.  One can either order the parts and assemble it himself, or he can LASER CUT the pieces and make his own press.
