Boxer Etching Press Construction
The Boxer Etching Press comes with its own stand and levelling feet as standard. A Steel Rim wheel is fitted as standard.
Bed material composite, easy to clean, light but extremely strong. Extra heavy duty ball bearings used throughout,
making this friction reducing, for ease of use. A large gear ratio 10.3 : 1 also means easy to use. A beautiful Steel Rim Wheel ensures perfect effortless control as well as looking good. Fitted with’easi-set’ indexable adjusting handles, ergonomic design for easier setup. Levelling the top roller should only take seconds. Capable of high quality relief work as well as intaglio work.This is common among all Rollaco presses. Built from my own modular design with a long reliable track record. This is a maintenance free press, so bearings and gears are lubricated for life. You never need to own an oilcan.Rollaco Presses, including the Boxer, have been in service in Print Workshops for decades without the need for a service because of care and dilligence in design.
Boxer Etching Press Options

Stainless steel rollers are now an option for those problematic environments, as a result never worry about corrosion again. Stainless Steel rollers are recommended for sitings in garden sheds and garages where these damp conditions can occur. .Choice of colours Dark Blue or Deep Green.
Customers
Used by Print Workshops , Schools ,Colleges as well as the private Artist with great success over many years. I believe this is best 50cm and 45cm press in the UK and I believe some of my customers would agree. Terms used by owners of the Boxer press are Smooth as Silk, a Work of Art, beautiful, This press is truly a Star.
I can make a 58cm x 110cm model called the Super Boxer Press. Because of the higher stresses generated by the wider bed I have enhanced the side frames to compensate for this. Other aspects of the press have also been altered such as the length of the press to allow for the longer bed. Recent customers have been prestiges schools, Eltham College and Guilford Royal Grammar School. Price for this press is P.O.A.
