FAG Control 405
Gilbert Bantoft on the FAG Control 405 ‹We use it for printing Lino cuts, Photopolymer plates and conventional letterpress type.
We find it useful for reduction prints from Lino as the registration is spot on. I run evening classes in letterpress and besides the Fag we have a Chandler & Price 15x10, a Vandercook No 17 press, 3 Adana 5x3, 2 Adana 8x5 and a Heidelberg Platen. The FAG is our most used press.›
