The largest of the current line of Halfwood Presses, with a 12-inch wide bed to make it easy to print a plate with a 10-inch dimension on its narrow side, and up to 30 inches in length. The rollers are 3 inch diameter, top and bottom. Inside the handsome polished wood and steel frame is a rack-drive system so you get a mechanical advantage of 8:1, making it easy to turn the wheel of the press.
The entire press weighs just over 100 pounds. it can be bolted to a low countertop or rolling work station for stability. As with the other Halfwood Presses, you get the felts you need to start printing right away, plus a user's manual and online support.
This Web page is new and under construction. For more details and images, go to the old page at http://www.emeralda.com/pp/ppprod/equip/etchingpress/mariner/index_mariner.htm. Please be patient, as the new model of the Mariner is still being photographed and uploaded.
