Vandercook Press Maintenance
Instructor Paul Moxon

In House Workshop at JCBA
Saturday June 17, 2023
9 AM to 5 PM
JCBA Printshop at FAU's Wimberly Library, Room 350

Come learn how your press really works: Participants will learn all the points of maintenance, cleaning, and lubrication so as to be prepared for potential problems and to make or direct repairs. We have a Vandercook 4 and 4T at the JCBA Printshop, but we will discuss all Vandercook models of interest and other brands of presses, as warranted. Whether you use studio presses, own a press, or are thinking of buying one, this workshop will provide excellent direction for your future presswork. Bring your questions, photos, and/or broken parts. Paul will also share examples from his collection of Vandercook literature.
