Drying Rack

Love the drying rack. Ideal, just clips onto the top of the door. I just need to perfect my technique of putting the prints into it. I keep pushing the rods out. Maybe I could have done with them being a bit longer. As I say just my bad technique at the moment. The rack holds the 20 prints perfectly, and my wife is pleased that I no longer have them laid out everywhere. Would definitely recommend this product.

Useful and well made

Such a simple and effective drying rack. So easy to use. Like another reviewer, I would have liked grommets on the tube ends to prevent slipping off, but a minor point. Very handy.

Treated myself to payne's grey, lilac and burnt sienna , they will be a great addition to my Caligo primary set of colours, saving time with mixing. Only used the grey & lilac so far, but love the result. Thanks also for efficient dispatch & packing, fab freebie sticker and tube rolling tool 👌

Well made and easy to use

I bought the Pooki press after struggling with a small etching press for some time. The Pooki is so easy to set up and I was making prints to the same standard as my etching press within a few minutes! So robust, well made and lightweight. Also fantastic that it is British made.

I was really struggling to find a practical solution to drying my prints, and after a catastrophe with a homemade bodge of pegs and string I came across the brilliant Pooki Press drying rack. The ordering was easy, delivery was fast and I’m very pleased with the rack itself. It does the job perfectly! It’s sturdy and easy to put together. When my requirements expand, I’ll certainly be buying another.

The Printmaking Struggle is Real… And You’re Not Alone

If you’ve ever felt like printmaking was harder than it should be, you’re not imagining it. Hand burnishing is slow, inconsistent, and physically exhausting. You press as hard as you can, but some areas come out faded, while others are over-inked.

 

And when you finally get a perfect print? It feels like pure luck.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Every printmaker struggles with these exact same issues—until they discover the right tool.

 

The truth is, your results aren’t about talent or technique—it’s about pressure consistency. Without even, controlled pressure, your prints will always be hit or miss.

 

That’s where the Pooki Press changes everything.

Why Printmakers Trust Pooki Presses

With over 2,000 presses sold, Pooki Press has been the press of choice for:

🖌️ Printmakers & Artists – Loved by professionals and hobbyists alike.

🎨 Workshop Hosts & Schools – Used by 100+ schools & over 50 workshop instructors.
 

But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what real customers say:

 

💬 "I bought my A3 portable printing press, and bless it—it's amazing! The quality of my prints has improved so much, and it’s so easy to use."

— Elizabeth Macdonald, A3 Pooki Relief Printing Press

 

💬 "The Pooki Press has been amazing. It's allowed me to print without straining my hands, and I can finally work on bigger print runs without fatigue."


— Andrew Doyle, A4 Pooki Relief Printing Press
 

The truth is, your results aren’t about talent or technique — it’s about pressure consistency. Without even, controlled pressure, your prints will always be hit or miss.
