The Columbian Press is assembled, cleaned and has been coated with a black undercoat. It is ready for the ornate trim, typically applied to these early 19th century cast iron presses.

We have also reassembled the Reliance Hand Press which is ready to be painted as well. The Reliance for the last two years has been operating at the Red Onion Press on loan in Downtown Kennesaw. Now in the expanded printmaking area, the press has it’s place of honor in the letterpress section of the new building.
