BEST NEW PRODUCT

Phoenix, AZ USA

The Akua Pin Press created quite a buzz when introduced at the 2011 NAMTA (The International Art Materials Trade Association) trade show in Phoenix. Voted for by retailers, distributers, manufacturers and NAMTA staff members, the Akua Pin Press was awarded NAMTA’s Art Materials World 2011 Best New Product. After having filled every seat in the house at Akua’s “Printmaking is Not Just for Printmaker’s” demo, receiving the 2011 Best New Product award was the icing on the cake.

The Akua PinPress is an economical portable press designed for light pressure printing processes like monotype, drypoint, collagraph, etc. The roller is 20” long offering the printmaker the possibility of printing 20” wide plates. It is precisely machined to an incredibly even and smooth surface for uniform contact between the roller, paper and plate. Durable all metal construction made of aluminum and brass bushings insures long lasting, trouble-free printing.
