'Cameo' Screen printer. This electric press is from 1976 but is still fully operational and works great. Unfortunately we do not have the space for it anymore.

Asking $100 o.b.o.

Pick up only.

Hey Reva,

Great news! The show and related events looks interesting. I hope to be able to see the show while it is up but regret I will miss the opening day.

A couple of pieces I made during a letterpress workshop at W2 will be on exhibit at Museum of Vancouver. http://www.creativetechnology.org/events/shattering-our-invisibility

Can't wait to play on the letterpress some more.

Good idea to seal something as porous as MDF one way or the other Beth, thanks.
Sorry for repeating myself, anybody out there wish they could find a dependable polymer plate supplier? Please contact me, let's pool our resources. Thank you.
Beth Howe Comment by Beth Howe on February 15, 2010 at 1:14pm
Trying to remember...I think we just painted on some sort of deck sealant or something like that.
