Press Hire

PCANZ Portable Printing Press Hire

The Print Council Aotearoa New Zealand (PCANZ) owns two portable intaglio printing presses (Loan Presses) for the purposes of promoting printmaking in education and supporting members in their printmaking endeavours. These Loan Presses are currently located in Auckland and Nelson and can be rented for limited periods of time depending on who the ‘Borrower’ is.

Please note that these presses are very heavy and will require two able bodied people to carry them. The removable components are packed in a heavy large canvas carry bag. You will require a sturdy table or bench top to support the press while in use.

  • Area of bench required to support press:
    600 mm long x 450 mm wide

    Area of press bed that will hold block/plate and paper:
    800 mm long and 340 mm wide

  • Please contact your closest Press Coordinator for all enquiries and bookings. Note you will need to make full payment before your booking is confirmed.
