Rollers are 2 1/4" diameter polished, unique nickel-plated steel. The pressure screws are linked so they stay in sync.

Embellished with hand-crafted brass barrel nut fasteners.

About Michael and Jennifer: Jennifer Anderson, Michael's wife, got the first Rent-A-Press gift certificate (below) for Michael for Christmas. After Michael - who is an illustrator - cashed in on his two-hour session and tried monotypes, the two decided to buy the press for his studio.

Ritchie's comment: Owners have called their Halfwood Presses are, "Works of art!" It's beautiful and small. One can pick up this Mini Etching Press and hand-carry it anywhere - and as Mike suggested even to a Drink-and-print hangout.
