School Etching Press. The Fome 3620 is a compact manual etching press designed for schools, studios, and beginners exploring chalcographic and relief printing. Its solid steel construction ensures stability and consistent performance, while the adjustable rollers allow fine control over printing pressure. The press is supplied with a durable metal plate, making it ready for immediate use.
