We are in the process of moving our small shop on the Northern Oregon Coast and our Vandercook 2 galley proof press won’t fit through the new door. Sadly, we have to sell. Ideally we would trade for a smaller proof or sign press.

Maximum sheet: 23¾” × 26½”
Maximum form: 23″ × 24½”
Floor space: 2’8″ × 4’3″

This is a great press for proofing type, obviously, as well as linoleum and woodblock editioning, bookwork, and posters. especially if you want to work LARGE.
