Re: [BKARTS] c&p tabletop press
what are the specific problems that you are having? (light impression, uneven printing, slurring, etc.)?
My first question would be if your rollers are good. I have been working on a little Kelsey 8x10 tabletop press for 2-3 years (after learning letterpress on a Vandercook), and although there is just a lot of learning to do, adjusting pressure, working with different inks and additives on different papers, etc-- I never got things working consistently well until I figured out that I needed new rollers (ordered from NA Graphics in Silverton, C))--now printing is an absolute charm!

hello
i'm having problems getting a good even impression on a c&p tabletop press that i just acquired. i have added more packing and attempted to adjust the bolts on the plate, nothing seems to be working all that well.
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
anderson
