Proofing Press Wanted

Paul has been exploring the oriental methods using watercolour printing as opposed to them more usual oil based ink method, which will be demonstrated on this course.

The course will include the cutting of the block using a variety of knives and gouges. Explanation of the safe use of the tools and their sharpening will be given. Design ideas will be developed and transferred to the block. Finally printing using old methods in a new way will demonstrate the versatility of this medium.

Farley/proofing press wanted
Hiya, I'm looking to get a small(ish) relief press for printing at home. I've found out about the above press and would love get my hands on one as my wrists and fingers are a wee but knackered from rubbing my prints onto the paper. Nothing too expensive please as I am not a commercial printer. I would appreciate any advice you have or if you have items that I could re-home. P.s I've looked at the major George one and it's far far too expensive for me any other suggestions? Would love to hear from you :-)

Colorjet Ink wanted
We are fine art screen printers in SW Scotland UK. We are just about to finally change to water based inks once all our nasty (but too expensive to throw away) toxic stuff has been used up. However, we have run out of Colorjet yellow; which of course severely limits what we can do with the remaining range of ink and base we have. Does anyone out there have any they no longer need or can sell us a small amount to save paying a huge amount for a minimum 5 ltrs we don't need?
Thanks
Colin
