We’re so excited to announce that we have a few brand new shear collars in stock for the Heidelberg Windmill. It seems like maybe once every couple years we end up popping a collar and that means we’ve slowly been making our way through the last of our old stock. These collars can get pretty expensive when shopping directly with Heidelberg. At the time of this post, the retail price was $346 a piece! This pricing hike and shortage of local availability led us to go on the hunt for a new local solution! Minnesota has always had a long standing tradition of experience, knowledge and production in the machine industry. We didn’t have to look very far to find a proper reproduction for half the price!

Check your press drawer. If you don’t have an extra collar, we highly recommend you picking one up sooner rather than later to avoid the unnecessary down time. Click here to place your order!

Finally had a chance to make some traction on a part we'd been meaning to offer for some time. We are now making reproduction chases for the C&P Pilot letterpress. These old presses still see a lot of action and are EXTREMELY popular.  Since the chases have become rarer than hens teeth, we decided it was time to start production. Our hopes are that these chases will help printers expand their capabilities as well as their, speed up production, and allow an affordable option to book art centers to host larger and more comprehensive classes. No time like the present to breath a little life into letterpress printing! Click HERE to order.
