Mit der ritualis press lässt sich endlich sehr professionell arbeiten! Ich habe sie heute ausprobiert und bin mit dem Ergebnis mehr als zufrieden. Ich kann die Druckerpresse nur empfehlen, einfach großartig!!!
Dochterlief kreeg, in overleg met haar, deze pers van ons cadeau. Haar linosnedes - en die van haar cursisten - kan ze nu perfect afdrukken.
Yesterday I received my A4 press, it is beatiful, I’m happy.
Excellente presse - un must indispensable !
Excellent press - an absolute must-have!
Vielen lieben Dank, die Qualität ist wirklich besser als die Werbung. Sehr schön, das es jetzt bei Leerlauf im Wohnzimmer als Dekoration steht.
Unglaublich gut verarbeitet.
Vielen herzlichen Dank dafür.
Presse magnifique et efficace. Les 2 poignées sont un réel avantage. L'équilibre des forces est parfaite. J'en suis raide dingue ;)
Practical and very beautiful at the same time. It has a good size and weight, allowing for better and more consistent results than I was getting from previous tools.
Alles super! Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Presse!
When the Ritualis arrived, the box had been ripped open at the corner during shipping and some of the styrofoam had spilled out. I was afraid that it might be broken, but the packaging and the workmanship saved it. It operates smoothly! I love it!
Excellent Results on my first prints with this press. I am using a thicker rug pad instead of the provided "felt". Getting wonderful prints.
I ordered the Glass Baren, it’s stunning!
I wanted to buy it as I love the colours and then I wanted a baren that I could take with me on my journeys.
It has printed beautifully.
Thank you.
Very tidy hobby item. Arrived quickly.
I had used barens for about two years before I found this press and since I am not using fine paper (e.g. Awagami) most of the time I had many misprints, which was frustrating. The press changed not only my success rate, it is also very helpful for printing older, uneven blocks perfectly AND it is small enough so I can take it to my workshops. I am actually considering getting a second one because the students like it, too :o)
So beautiful! Packaged well! I am so happy with my purchase I can’t wait to use it.
I am delighted with this press, which is both aesthetic and practical. Quality assured. A very nice working tool.
Woodcut Printing
Woodcut is a type of relief printing where an artist carves an image into a wood block, usually with gouges. The parts that remain level with the surface hold the ink and create the print, while the carved-away areas don’t. The block is cut along the wood grain (unlike wood engraving, which uses the end-grain). Ink is applied using a ink roller (brayer), covering only the raised areas, leaving the carved sections blank.
