Description

Bed size 20″ x 39″ (50 x 100cm)Bed plate 0.4″ (1cm) thickWorking height 35″Max. clearance between bed plate and upper roller 1.6″ (4cm)Direct drive (non-geared)Supplied with a stand and two wooden shelves.10 year manufacturer’s guarantee.The JH-50 is bottom roller driven using a star wheel. The bed plate is made from laminated paper sheets, in liquid resin, pressed under high pressure and temperature, then covered, on both sides, with a white melamine coating. Perfect bed material, compared with a metal bed: does not warp, no oxidation, safe (=not heavy), very pressure resistant). The bed plate is guided on both sides by the solid steel frame. Loosening the spindles raises the upper roller by spring pressure, which also makes possible the printing of lino and wood cuts. Shims of leather or cardboard can be placed under the spindles thus providing more flexibility during printing (useful while printing woodcuts that are not quite flat).
