Table Top Lithography Printing Press
 Takach Table Top Litho Press |
"I have used many different presses and have found Takach to be among the most durable and easiest to operate. I have practiced aluminum plate lithography for many years and know how difficult it is to find ball-grained aluminum plates. Plates such as those from Takach help ensure the success of a lithographic print."

Table Top Litho Press Information
Pressure System:The pressure system on our Table Top Litho Press is designed after our proven Floor Model Litho pressure system. Both utilize the same 1” diameter hardened steel pin and permanently lubricated fiber glide bearings. The system will accommodate two ranges of stone or plate thickness, from 0”- 2” and 2”- 4”.
Scraper Bar Housing:A pressure lock knob is provided and the scraper bar housing is designed to use our standard scraper bars.
Press Bed:
One-half inch precision ground aluminum plate with a phenolic-resin sheet bonded to the top and bottom surfaces. This provides a press bed and a plate backer in one.
Bed Stops:
Secures the moving press bed to the press frame. This feature is a must in today´s safety conscious studio.
Bed Latch System: The press bed may be locked in the inking position.
Frame Unit:
Three-quarter by five inch aluminum is paired and machined simultaneously to provide a very accurate and sturdy frame unit. One inch diameter cross bars join the side frames. An aluminum frame provides maximum strength, yet reduces the press weight considerably, making it a more mobile unit.
Bed Drive System: Effortless hand cranking is made possible by our double reduction chain and sprocket drive system. Polyethylene wear strips attached to each side frame assure minimal bed friction. "See-thru" chain guard covers allow easy inspection of chain lubrication.
Finish: All steel press parts are protected by nickel plating, anodizing, high quality paint, or powder coated finish. Custom color presses, are available for an additional charge.
TABLE TOP SUPPORT BENCH
Support Bench: A beautiful and durable 1.75" Michigan hard rock maple table top is attached to a steel table frame. Can be used as a Support Table for Table Top Presses or as a Work Bench for the studio. One lower shelf comes standard; a second shelf may be added, as well as roll around casters for mobility.
