Dear Printmaker,

conrad machine co.

1

I am proud to introduce our new 2010 catalog. This year is a historic year in Conrad Machine's history; it marks our 65-year anniversary. Conrad Machine Co. was founded by my father and uncle, Earl and Robert Conrad, in 1945 with assistance from my grandfather, Hveding Conrad. Fresh out of WWII, my father and uncle started the company with little more than ideals and the American dream. In 1956, we began manufacturing our first printmaking presses. Today, we are recognized around the world as one of the oldest manufacturers of fine art printmaking presses as well as the oldest manufacturer in North America. Conrad Machine Co. is proud to manufacture 6 different lines of presses. We do not, by and large, sell peripheral materials like other companies. Instead, we concentrate our time, energy, and engineering abilities on manufacturing the world's finest printmaking presses. We offer more lines of presses than any other press company. Our selection allows you to pick the press that best fits your wants, needs, and price range. The Conrad Machine Co. line of presses includes tabletop and floor model etching, combination, monotype, and lithography presses. These presses have proven to be popular in both the studio and educational settings. In addition to our Conrad Machine Co. press line, we have added the world-renowned American French Tool press line in 1999. Andre Beaudoin, American French Tool's founder, designed and built these elegant and graceful etching presses for nearly 30 years in Coventry, Rhode Island. Their agile design and stunning performance are unsurpassed in the printmaking industry. Recently, in 2007, we added the complete line of Rembrandt fine art presses. This line, designed by John Graves, has proven itself over the past 35 years, with its efficient and well-built design, to be very popular among printmakers. Our newest line of presses is the Brand New line. This line is designed after the Charles Brand style of presses. If you loved Charles Brand presses, you will love the Brand New line. Conrad Machine Co. is not only celebrating our 65-year anniversary, we are also celebrating more than 50 years of building the finest printmaking presses in the world. Because of our level of commitment to higher quality and better performance, we have decided to increase our press warranty. All Conrad Machine Co. manufactured presses now carry a 25-year warranty. This warranty sets a benchmark; no other press manufacturer offers a better, full 25-year warranty on their printmaking presses. We invite you to compare our presses to any in the world. We are confident you will see that our commitment to quality, large variety, and you, the printmaker, is unmatched. Please visit our new website to get more detailed information about all of our presses and our company. Thank you for all of your support throughout the last 56 years. We would not have been able to achieve this milestone without the loyal support and following of our printmaking family. Sincerely, Tom Conrad, President, Conrad Machine Co. 1525 S.

E-12 Deluxe

Ive printed over 20,000 prints on my Conrad E-12 and it still prints the same as it did the day I got it. - Dan Welden, Author, Printmaking in the Sun, Artist/Master Printmaker

Planetary Series 1 Geared Reduction Drive- 6 to 1

The most remarkable feature of the E-12 etching press is the Planetary reduction drive. Torque from the 10 inch throw aluminum hand crank is multiplied in the fully enclosed geared planetary reducer. The ideal 6 to 1 ratio provides smooth and easy operation under the heaviest pressure. This type of press drive, developed by Conrad Machine Co. in 1959, is a proven design concept. The Planetary reduction drive has provided trouble free service over the past 50 years on thousands of etching presses, ranging in width from 12 to 50 inches.

Base and Frame

The base of the press is formed from 16 gauge electrogalvanized sheet steel. The steel sheet is riveted together to form a sturdy box section that is resistant to twisting and tipping. Unlike many of our competitors' presses, the base extends the full length (24) of the bed plate. The Vertical Frame is constructed of one inch square, high tensile aluminum. The aluminum provides maximum strength with minimum weight. The frame, pressure screws, bearing blocks, and lower roll adjusting screw all share a common center line to eliminate twisting or bending of the frame under high printing pressure.

Bed Plates
There are many different views of what material makes the best bed plate; to a large extent, we feel it is a matter of personal preference. Therefore, we offer three different types of bed plate materials. The standard bed plate is made from a 1/2 thick composite. This composite is a high density lignin-resin laminate, having a compressive strength of 29,000 P.S.I. This material is only 1/6 the weight of steel. The optional bed plates are steel or aluminum alloy. Please see the options or pricing section in our catalog for more details about optional beds.

wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my... Etching press. I work mostly with Mezzotint, which is a very delicate image to print. Your press prints my plates beautifully, with practically no wear to the plates even after 70-80 impressions.

Rolls and Bearings

-Christopher W. Nowicki Artist

Open-spoked Star Wheel

E-12 Standard with

The upper roll is spring counter balanced to maintain height adjustment, whether or not the roll is in contact with your work. We only use large 1.5 diameter roll bearings. These high quality bearings are rated at well over five times the maximum pressure encountered in normal printing! Both the upper and lower rolls on the E-12 etching press are precision machined from three inch diameter, solid steel. The E-12 rolls assure precise and deflection free printing. Options include an oversize 4.5 diameter upper roll or 3 1/2 diameter solid Aluminum Alloy Rolls. The E-15 etching press comes with a 3 diameter solid steel lower roll and a 4.5 diameter steel upper roll.

Micro-Gauges

Most small presses are not even available with micro-gauges. The small presses that do offer microgauges use a scale type design that is inferior to a barrel-thimble design. Conrad Machine Co. offers a barrel-thimble micro-gauge that is calibrated to .005 per line. This means that you can adjust each pressure screw by about the same thickness as a human hair! The Conrad Machine Co. micro-gauges are the very best in the printmaking industry.

Options
-Roll Materials: 3" diameter Solid Aluminum Alloy Rolls - Saves 30 lbs. (E-12 only). -Roll Sizes: 4.5" diameter extra large oversize upper roll (E-12 only, this size is standard on E-15). -Bed Plates: Steel or Aluminum Alloy Bedplate. -Micro-gauges: calibrated to .005" per line-very precise. -Star Wheel: 34" diameter (in place of Hand Crank). -Chrome: chrome plated upper roll. -Steel Stand/ Work bench.

Conrad E-18 & E-24

have been working with presses manufactured by the Conrad Machine Company since 1976. I have used them as a student, a college professor, and as a professional printmaker. As a college professor, I have seen the use, and abuse, that presses take in a printmaking studio and Conrad presses not only withstand this constant use but have given me years of troublefree service. As far as I am concerned, this is one of the best tests of any piece of studio equipment.

-John Roberts, Professor of Art- Keene State College

Planetary Series-1 Geared Reduction Drive- 6 to 1

The most remarkable feature of the E-18 etching press is the Planetary reduction drive. Torque from the 10 throw aluminum hand crank is multiplied in the fully enclosed geared planetary reducer. The ideal 6 to 1 ratio provides smooth and easy operation under the heaviest pressure. This type of press drive, developed by Conrad Machine Co. in 1959, is a proven design concept. The Planetary reduction drive has provided trouble free service over the past 50 years on thousands of etching presses, ranging in width from 12 to 50. (Shown in picture above)

Planetary Series-2 Geared Drive

One of the most important components of any press is its drive. Conrad Machine Co. has developed three sizes of planetary gear drives for all sizes of etching presses. Gear drives are superior to chain drives, requiring no adjustments for the life of the press. With a gear driven press, the artist can enjoy smooth and effortless printing under heavy pressure with no transitional pull coming off a plate. Conrad Machine Co. is the only press manufacturer to use this planetary gear technology. This proven design has been used on thousands of presses we have built over the past 56 years. The Series-2 drive is used on our E-24, E-28, E-30, E-31, and E-37 etching presses. The base of the press is formed from heavy gauge sheet steel. The heavy gauge steel is riveted together to form a sturdy box section that is resistant to twisting and tipping. Unlike many of our competitor's presses, the base extends the full length (36 or 48) of the bed plate. The vertical frame is constructed of solid square steel. The frame, pressure screws, bearing block, and lower roll adjusting screw all share a common center line to eliminate twisting or bending of the frame under high printing pressure.

Twin-Torque Drive
After years of testing, Conrad Machine is proud to introduce the unique Twin-Torque Drive. This drive is the only hand drive on the market today that enables the printmaker to choose a gear ratio suited to his medium. Take your choice of 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 to 1 gear ratios driving through a fully enclosed, selfcontained double reduction planetary gear drive. No chains means no misalignments. This drive is mounted directly on the roll. Don't settle for something less than the best. Options include a star wheel in place of a hand crank. (Shown above on a C-25)

Motor Drive (E-24 only)
For those printmakers running large editions or for those who would like effortless printing, we offer a motorized press option. Some printmakers prefer a motor driven press because the motor can deliver a constant speed throughout any edition size and never get tired. We offer a 1/2 H.P. motor that runs on standard house current, 115 volt. Safety features include roll guards, bed stops, an instant reverse motor with power indicator light, and a keyed power lock out switch. The E-24 etching press motor drive option is different from our other motorized presses. The motorized E-24 press retains its hand drive. The hand drive can be disconnected and the motor drive engaged with one pull of the lever. To engage the hand drive and disengage the motor drive, just push in the lever.

Rolls and Bearings

The upper roll is precision machined from steel and is spring counter balanced. The E-18 upper roll is 4.5 in diameter and the E-24 upper roll is 6 in diameter. Lower rolls on both presses are adjustable for height and bed plate teeter. The E-18 lower roll is precision machined from 3.5 solid steel, while the E-24 lower roll is precision machined from 4 solid steel. We only use large 1.5 diameter roll bearing journals on both the E-18 and E-24 presses. These high quality, self-aligning, anti-friction bearings insure smooth and easy operation under the most severe printing conditions.

ur Conrad Etching press... that Missouri Western State College purchased in the spring of 1968... has held up remarkably well considering it was in constant use each semester and for many summer semesters as well. During this time we have successfully printed many intaglio plates, linocut blocks, and monoprints on the press. It has been a workhorse in our Printmaking program for over 40 years and is still being used today and will be long after I have retired.

Conrad Heavy Duty Floor Model Etching Press with Planetary S-3 Drive and Open-spoked Star Wheel

Heavy Duty Floor Model Frame

The frames of Conrad Machine Floor Model Etching presses are fabricated from heavy steel plates, adequately reinforced and crossbraced to maintain their alignment. The legs are equipped with leveling screws and floor plates. An optional storage shelf is available that fits inside the frame under the lower roll.

Planetary Series-3 Geared Reduction Drive- 8 to 1

The driving power of the Conrad Floor Model Etching press is provided by a large spoked star wheel operating through a self-contained, 8 to 1 geared planetary reduction drive that is mounted directly on the press roll. This type of drive, designed specifically for the slow R.P.M., high torque requirements of etching presses, was introduced by Conrad Machine Co. in 1959, and has proven to be a troublefree workhorse on the thousands of installations built since that time. Mounting the drive on the roll itself assures perfect alignment over the life of the press. For those printmakers that prefer a hand crank instead of a star wheel, Conrad Machine offers a Heavy Duty 25 to 1 Commercial Drive. These drives are designed for heavy industrial applications, making them very rugged for large etching presses. Upper or lower roll driving is available with this drive.

Bed Plates
The Floor Model bed plates are solid steel, precision ground flat and parallel on the top and bottom. The long edges of the bed are machined smooth, square and parallel to facilitate a smooth, straight line motion between the side guides fixed to the presses' frame. Safety stops are provided to limit the maximum travel of the bed. Aluminum or composite bed plates are also available. By using one of these alternate materials you could save as much as 600 lbs.

Drive and Micro-gauges

duce a smaller version of our popular C-25 Combination Press. The C-16 Combination Press o ers all the same options as the C-25 Combination Press. With a 16 x 32 bed size, the C-16 can print any medium including stone lithography.

Conrad Machine is proud to intro-

enjoy and am very satis ed with the etching [combination] press machine we purchased from Conrad Machine in March 1992... The machine is dependable, versatile and reasonably priced. I highly recommend the Conrad press machine to anyone who is a professional artist in printmaking.
-Chia Haruta, Haruta Studio

Portability
We designed this press, so it can be easily disassembled into five component parts. You will not need a moving crew to transport this press, as one person can easily disassemble and move the C-16. The outer bed supports can be taken off or folded up, so the press will fit through any 30 door way. There is no need for expensive machinery movers with the Conrad Machine Co. C-16 Combination press.

Lithography and Flexibility

The one major feature that sets this press apart from all other traditional presses is its ability to be converted into a lithography press in less than five minutes. Stone lithography work requires a floating scraper bar; this can also lend itself to new and different techniques not possible with traditional presses. Mixed media prints utilizing multiple techniques can be printed without the need for multiple printing presses.

Planetary Series-1 Geared Reduction Drive- 6 to 1

The most remarkable feature of these fine presses is the Planetary geared reduction drive. Torque from the 10 throw aluminum hand crank is multiplied in the totally enclosed geared planetary reducer by a 6 to 1 ratio to provide smooth and easy operation under the heaviest pressure. This type of press drive, developed by Conrad Machine Co. in 1959, is a proven design concept. The Conrad Planetary S-1 drive has provided trouble free service over the past 56 years on thousands of presses ranging in width from 12 to 50. The C-16 can also be fitted with a direct drive and an open spoked star wheel.

Rolls and Bearings

The upper roll is 4 1/2 diameter and made from special pre-stressed steel tubing. This makes the roller very strong but light enough that one person can change over to the litho process. The lower roll is made from 4 1/2 diameter steel. An optional 6 upper roll is available for those printmakers desiring a larger upper roll.

The C-16 Combination press is just as versatile as the C-25 Combination Press, printing any medium: intaglio, relief, and lithography. Same as the C-25, the upper roll assembly quickly slides out from the scraper bar housing and is replaced by a scraper bar. In less than 5 minutes, you are ready to print lithography! The Combination Press has found great favor with colleges and universities worldwide as well as professional studios for its versatility and durability.

Combination Presses

use your Conrad Combination Press now for three years in my classroom at Dulaney High School. I wanted to tell you how much the students and myself have enjoyed the use of the press during that time. Whether printing intaglio plates, collographs, xerographic transfers, mylar waterbased images, wood and linocuts, lithographs, and many combinations of print mixed media e ects, the press has been outstanding. The awards that I and my students have received have been, in part, due to its excellent and exible capabilities. It is a valuable classroom and studio tool.

performed perfectly. Over the twenty [plus] years that I used it, I had continuing good results. Besides being very dependable, I found it to be very exible, allowing me to do intaglio plates, lithographs, and monotypes. I have done deep engravings, aquatints, and mezzotints and combinations and variations of these techniques.
- Hank Laventhol, BFA Yale, Academia de Belle Arte

One of the most important components of any press is its drive. Conrad Machine offers one of the most versatile drives available today. Our engineers designed a drive that fully complements the extreme versatility of the Combination Press. Because the Combination Press is at home in any medium, we designed the drive so the printmaker can choose the desired gear ratio. Five different ratios are offered; 5 to 1 plus choice of 10, 15, 20 and 25 to 1. There is no reason to be stuck with an improperly geared press. The C-25 can be fitted with the Conrad Planetary S-2 Drive, standard hand drive, or the Conrad Twin-Torque Drive. We also offer motorizing. See E-24 page for more information about the Conrad Twin-Torque Drive.

Drives

For those printmakers running large editions or for those who would like effortless printing, we offer a motorized option. Some printmakers prefer a motor driven press because the motor can deliver a constant speed throughout any edition size and never get tired. We offer a 1/2 H.P. motor that runs on standard house current (115 volt). Safety features include roll guards, bed stops, an instant reverse motor with power indicator light, and a keyed power lock out switch.

-Robert Dente, Monotype Artist & NEA Fellow

Monotype Bedplates
We offer two types of bed plate material. The standard bed plate is made from 3/4 thick Composite laminate. This high density, lignin-resin laminate has a compressive strength of 29,000 P.S.I. This material weighs only one sixth the weight of steel. The optional bed plate is made from high strength aluminum alloy. This material is more expensive than steel, but it is stronger and only one third the weight of steel.

Portability
We designed this press, so it can be easily disassembled into 3 component parts. You will not need a moving crew to transport this press, as one person can easily disassemble and move the Monotype press. The outer bed supports can be taken off or folded up, so the press will fit through a standard 30 doorway. There is no need for expensive machinery movers with the Conrad Machine Co. Monotype press.

Monotype Drive
Driving power is provided by a large spoked star wheel operating through a Conrad Planetary S-2 Geared Reduction Drive. This 6 to 1 drive is mounted directly on the press roll (left). A very economical direct drive version (above) is offered for those printmakers wishing to work in light pressure mediums like monotypes, woodcuts, linocuts or other types of a relief work. This model has a 48" diameter spoked star wheel attached directly to the lower roller.

Angular Steel Frame

The vertical frame is constructed of solid steel angle. The frame, pressure screws, bearing blocks, and lower roll adjusting screw all share a common center line to eliminate twisting or bending of the frame under high printing pressure.

The all-steel, heavy duty construction combined with 50 plus years of press manufacturing experience makes the Conrad lithograpy press a proven design.

t is everything I could have hoped for! I have never felt more excited about my work than I have since acquiring your press .
- George D. Davidson, III Artist/Printmaker

Bed Plates
We offer two different types of bed plates: modern tempered ground steel and traditional hard wood. Our most popular bed is the precision ground steel. This bed is blanchard-ground top and bottom to .005 flat and parallel. The long edges of the bed are machined smooth, square and parallel to facilitate smooth, straight line motions between the frame guides. Adjustable frame guides are made of a thermoset phenolic laminate insuring smooth friction free bed travel. Both beds are covered with a cushion of battleship linoleum. If you prefer the traditional hardwood, we offer a 3 thick laminated hardrock maple bed. The laminated sections are glued and pinned together to form a rock hard surface. Positive bed stops are provided to prevent the bed from coming off the press.

Drives
Driving power is provided by a 10" throw swivel handle hand crank, operating through a self-contained, planetary geared reduction drive mounted directly on the press roll. This type of drive, designed specifically for the slow R.P.M., high torque requirements of etching and litho presses, was introduced by Conrad Machine Company in 1959 and has proved to be a trouble free "work horse" on thousands of installations built since that time. Mounting the drive on the roll itself eliminates side loading and prevents any skewing action from occurring, insuring perfect alignment.

Twin- Torque Drive

Pressure System
The top-loading scraper bar holder is fabricated of heavy, welded steel plate. Pressure is applied through a single lever toggle mechanism. The pressure adjusting screw is 1 1/4 diameter with acme threads. It is mated to a long bronze nut and is equipped with locking device.

Utilizing our time tested planetary drive, Conrad Machine Company introduces the all new Twin-Torque variable ratio planetary drive. This unique drive gives the printmaker a choice of five different drive ratios to choose from: 5 to 1, 10 to 1, 15 to 1, 20 to 1 and 25 to 1.

Disengagement Drive Clutch Drive Option

If you prefer working on only one side of the press or would like to be able to pull the bed plate easily back and forth, this is the option for you. You simply pull the drive pin out and pull the bedplate effortlessly.

American French Tool 30 Floor Model Etching Press with Standard 60 Enclosed Star Wheel and Micro-gauges.

he American French Tool Company was started by Andre Beaudoin in the mid-1970's. Mr. Beaudoin, working with many prominent printmakers, designed and built the American French Tool presses for over 30 years. The beauty and elegance of the American French Tool design, the unmatched performance, and the outstanding durability have given the American French Tool presses the reputation of being the world's finest etching presses. With its large, oversize bearings and solid steel rolls, the American French Tool press is the heaviest press on the market. Many publishers and artists will only use the American French Tool press to print their heavy pressure photogravure prints. In the spring of 1999, Conrad Machine Co. acquired the American French Tool Company from Mr. Beaudoin. Continuing the legacy and craftsmanship of Mr. Beaudoin, Conrad Machine Co. has built the American French Tool floor model etching presses for over 10 years and has added several tabletopetching presses to the American French Tool press line. American French Tool presses are offered with the industrys leading 25-year warranty because the world's most elegant and best performing etching presses are designed to last a life time.

Rolls and Bearings

Drives
The American French Tool tabletop etching press can be custom built with either a direct drive or a geared drive. A direct drive, as shown on the following page, utilizes a fully enclosed star wheel mounted directly to the upper roll for its pulling power. For printmakers who want the ease of a geared drive under heavy pressure, we also offer the Conrad Machine Co. Planetary Series-2 Gear Reduction Drive, custom fit for the American French Tool tabletop press. This type of press drive, developed by Conrad Machine Co. in 1959, has provided trouble free service over the past 50 years on thousands of presses ranging in width from 12" to 50".

The upper roll is spring counter balanced to maintain height adjustment, whether or not roll is in contact with the work. The roll bearings are large 1 1/2" in diameter, self-aligning, and rated at well over 5 times the maximum pressure encountered in normal printing! The upper roll on the American French Tool 24 tabletop press is precision machined from 6" diameter, solid steel assuring precise and deflection-free printing. Options include an oversize 7 1/2" diameter upper roll. Please check our specifications for specific tabletop sizes and options.

Frame
The American French Tool Tabletops frame design is based on the elegant American French Tool floor model press design. The side frames are custom machined out of 1/2 thick steel and bolted together with custom made deck plates. The American French Tool tabletop frame is not only the most graceful design of any tabletop etching press, it is also one of the most durable and stable designs.

yr Warranty

All Conrad Machine Co. Presses come with the industry's best 25-Year Warranty. We believe in our products, so much so, that we will repair or replace any defects in materials or workmanship for the rst 25 years of the life of your press.

There are many different views of what material makes the best bed plate; to a large extent, we feel it is a matter of personal preference. Therefore, we offer 3 different types of bedplate material. The standard bedplate is made from 3/4" thick steel plate precision ground to 1/2 thick. We also offer optional bed plates made of aluminum alloy and composite laminate.

-Roll Materials: 3 diameter solid aluminum alloy rolls - Saves 30 lbs. -Roll Sizes: oversize upper roll are available. -Bed Plate: Steel or Aluminum Alloy Bedplate. -Micro-gauges: calibrated to .001" per line. -Star Wheel: 34 or 44 diameter (in place of Hand Crank) -Chrome: chrome plated upper roll. -Steel Stand/ Work bench.

Most small presses are not even available with micro-gauges. The small presses that do offer micro-gauges use a scale type design that is inferior to a barrel-thimble design. Conrad Machine Co. offers a barrelthimble micro-gauge that is calibrated to .001 per line. This means that you can adjust each pressure screw by about the same thickness as a human hair! The Conrad Machine Co. Micro-gauges are the very best in the printmaking industry.

For all you Charles Brand lovers

harles Brand presses have been a very popular press for decades. Ever since they went out of business in the 90s, there has been no factory support for Charles Brand press owners. Conrad Machine, wanting to help our many printmakers and customers who own Brand presses, extended our wealth of knowledge and expert services to all Brand owners. We offer full factory support for all Charles Brand Presses. We will fix, repair, or rebuild any Charles Brand press as well as provide replacement parts for all Charles Brand Models. After years of repairing and rebuilding Brand presses, we have come to know all the strengths and weaknesses of the Brand press design. Conrad Machine has decided to create a line of presses similar to the Brand press. We have redesigned the weak points and improved the overall quality of these machines. If you love Charles Brand presses, you will love this new line of Conrad Machine Co. presses.

brand new presses

Brand New 22.5 Floor Model Etching Press

Frame Rolls

The frame is constructed from 5/8" x 8" solid aircraft aluminum alloy plate. This material is stronger than steel and saves weight. The upper roll is larger and heavier. It is constructed from 8 5/8" dia. extra heavy steel tubing making it stronger with less flex.

Brand New Geared Drive

The drive is a time tested 25 to 1 shaft mounted commercial gear box. This is an expensive drive box and is the very best. We have used this type of drive for over 50 years and have never had a failure.

Micro-Gauges

All Brand New etching presses come standard with microgauges. These micro-gauges are calibrated to .005 per line. The Conrad Machine Co. microgauges are the best in the printmaking industry.

Bedplates

We offer the traditional 1" thick precision ground steel considered by most printmakers to be the Cadillac of bed plates. If a lighter bedplate is desired, a 1" thick aluminum alloy is offered.

Bearings

Bigger bearing shaft sizes are used in all models. These bearings are bigger than our competitors by as much as 50 percent. This will eliminate shaft flex or breakage under heavy printing conditions like photo gravure.

Bed Guides Prices

Bedplate is guided horizontally by 8 roller bearings and supported vertically by 8 additional roller bearings.

Floor Model Elephant Etching Presses

As with all our products, this press is designed to meet the highest industrial standards and uses first rate materials and parts. The Elephant press is our largest model. The precision 4.5 solid aircraft alloy lower roller is designed to provide deflection-free support and long, trouble free service even when printing with the heaviest pressures. The upper roller is 8.5 in diameter tubular steel with 2-15/16 diameter journals fitted with heavy duty, self-aligning ball bearings. Bed movement is controlled by tough, low-friction guides supported by the lower drive roller and eight 4 diameter idler wheels with anti-friction bearings for smooth, quiet operation. The height of each wheel can be easily and precisely adjusted. To produce its characteristically smooth operation the drive system incorporates our unique planetary gear drive. A counter-balanced hand crank is used to drive the bed. Each bed is precision ground top and bottom from a single 1- thick plate of stress-relieved steel. Approximate shipping weight is 1,350 lbs.

Rubber and polyurethane rollers are available in 15 durometer soft, 30 durometer medium, and 50 durometer hard. The standard durometer of 30 is used for most inking applications, lithographs, relief, monotypes, etc. For viscosity printing a set of 3 rollers is generally used: 15, 30, and 50 durometer. The S.L.C. (simulated leather covering) roller is offered as a replacement for leather. This material has fibers that run completely through the covering. The surface of the roller looks and feels like peach fuzz, thus simulating some of the inking characteristics of leather with the clean-up ability of rubber. One roller can be used with any number of colors. Conrad Machine Company can manufacture any size roller you may desire up to 30" in diameter and 48" in length. Any material and thickness of covering can be obtained. Please call our factory for more information on prices and delivery.

The standard durometer of 30 is used for most inking applications, lithographs, relief, monotypes, etc . For viscosity printing a set of 3 rollers is generally used: 15, 30, and 50 durometer . The S .L .C . (simulated leather covering) roller is offered as a replacement for leather . This material has fibers that run completely through the covering. The surface of the roller looks and feels like peach fuzz thus simulating some of the inking characteristics of leather with the clean-up ability of rubber . One roller can be used with any number of colors . Conrad Machine Company can manufacture any size roller you may desire up to 30" in diameter and 48" in length . Any material and thickness of covering can be obtained . Call with all your special needs for prices and delivery . Specifications and prices subject to change without notice.
