Learn to print on Tabletop Platen Press! Far smaller than a Cylinder Press, these clamshell-style presses are great for printing cards or small invitations. Unlike Cylinder Presses, they are capable of printing on oddly shaped papers as well as those of unusual thickness, such as coasters.

Topics covered include typesetting, locking up the chase, handling registration, and printing edition work. Completion of this 2-day workshop qualifies you to rent Tabletop Presses at San Francisco Center for the Book
