I finally got a chance to use the Glen Alps Press for the first time. It has been over a month since the press arrived, but before I could make prints I needed to get new felt blankets and level and adjust the press. Today I made my first print on the press – it was a 3″ x 5″ photopolymer gravure plate.

I chose this photopolymer gravure plate for the press inaguration.

The giant press makes the 4″ x 5″ plate look miniscule.

Here’s the big reveal of my first print on the Glen Alps press.
