In this video, we show some of the process of printing the beautiful Summer Fennel series prints. Each piece has been hand printed on the letterpress and carefully selected so that only the best are available to you. Imagine the bright light filled image, enlivening your space.
It is always exciting making something work that was destined for the scrap heap. In this post, we test the now operational Pullan proofing press.
The Korrex Berlin Hand letterpress proofing press exemplifies German engineering. Made in the 1970’s at Max Simmel Maschinenfabrik, in Berlin, Germany, the Korrex press even now runs as smooth as silk.
TH Pullan & Sons were an engineering company in Glasgow that specialised in printing machinery and proof presses. They went into liquidation c.1906, so it is difficult finding any actual information about the company or their products.
This press is a wonderful example of industrial revolution engineering. Fully hand crafted and even after years of misuse and neglect, is still completely flat and square.
