This versatile little Vandercook 14 proof press is the second press I moved here into the studio. It’s a little dirty, but it’s in good shape and is a work horse. The serial number, 16907, places it as having been manufactured in 1954.
It’s not self-inking and it has been largely boxed out by the SP15 I am moving in next week, but for the footprint (2’7” x 3’9”) it has a huge print bed (17 5/8” x 25 1/2”) and can print on sheets of paper up to 17 3/8” x 25”—which is awesome if you want monoprints or if you have the time to play around with registration and inking.
The press weighs about 750 lbs, but one person can shove it around fairly easily.
