The super-boxer press I bought from Rollaco is brilliant. I wanted a decent -sized print area but a lightweight frame which is just what I got. The very clever engineering means you get excellent pressure whilst the handle turns as lightly as a feather -no back strain! The top-roller height is also super easy to adjust and set level with the unique system John has devised. The high quality castors mean it's a doddle to move round the studio as required. I've been a printmaker for nearly 50 years and used many different presses so really appreciate how easy and efficient this one is. Delivery and set up by John was brilliant. Thank you!

We purchased a 40 cm Gem press earlier this year and have been having a great time this summer using it for linocuts and drypoint printing. Our version has castors and the exhibition drying rack system. It is such a wonderful piece of kit - incredibly well made. It looks really nice in our dining room/artist's studio :-)

I recently purchased a 45cm Kudos printing press from Rollaco. The press was delivered and set up efficiently, and John took time to show me how to use it and explain how to look after it, which was really appreciated. The press itself is beautiful. It's incredibly solid and well made, but the castors mean it's easy to move around the studio when I need to. Overall, I'm absolutely delighted with both the press and the service I received. I'd happily recommend Rollaco to anyone looking for a high-quality printmaking press.

We purchased a 40cm Gem Press from John and it is wonderful. Really well engineered and constructed. We have not stopped using it in the classroom. Lovely quality item and its a pleasure to use every time.

I have just purchased my 2nd Rollaco press. The first 'Boxer' one I invested in 30 years ago and it continues to be the best press I have ever used for all my large monoprints and intaglio work (I have used many other types of press in schools and colleges over the years). I wanted another smaller 'Kudos' version which I can use for public workshops which is reliable and safe to use. John has engineered it so I can transport it more easily to different venues.It looks amazing and is so easy to work. Both have crank handles which I prefer as they are more compact. Its going to be doing a lot of work and I couldn't be more pleased.

I had the pleasure of meeting John from Rollaco Presses yesterday when he delivered and installed a custom built stand on castors for my existing Rollaco Press. What a difference to be able to manoeuvre it around to suit. Excellent quality and workmanship from a true professional, generous with both time and knowledge. Excellent and reliable communication too. Thoroughly recommended. Thank you John.

I recently purchased the Rollaco 40cm Kudos press with the stand and casters. John is so knowledgeable about the press and how it's made, I love the engineering and attention to detail. He took the time to explain on the phone before I committed to a purchase and I ended up buying a slightly larger press as I realised this would give me more options for larger work. The press is absolutely amazing, so smooth when printing and the prints look more professional now. I mostly print lino at the moment, which it does perfectly, with a bit of tweaking for the right pressure. I can't wait to return to etchings now. I would 100% reccommend the Rollaco presses. Thank you John and the team

NL Arts Development is a community based arts org in the central belt of Scotland. We contacted John from Rollaco (having had a personal recommendation) and can't stress how pleased we are with our new Kudos Printing Press. John was super responsive and communicative throughout, delivered and installed the press as promised and was so helpful in answering all of our Q&A's. This quality press is built to last, a beautiful construction, and will be used by so many people discovering the joy of printmaking. Thanks so much John and his team!
