    Letterpress machines don’t have to be antique!
    October 28, 2007

    I always wanted to know if there was a company out there making new table top presses. Recently, there has been a high demand for table top presses such as the C&P Pilot, Kelsey, Hohner, Sigwalt, Adana and the like. I know there is something nostalgic and sentimental with these old cast iron presses but, it would be kind of nice to have one that is sparkling and new and not to mention lighter. While searching the internet, I came across a company in Japan, who makes new Adana table top presses http://www.robundo.com/adana/news/018.html. I thought this was a beautiful machine and wanted to share it with other letterpress enthusiasts. (I think the price for this machine new is about $4000 US dollars).
