The Ultimate Printmaker’s Secret: The One Tool That Makes Printing 3x Faster With Less Effort

Struggling With Patchy Prints? Hand Burnishing Taking Forever?

Every printmaker knows the frustration. You spend hours carving a perfect design, only to end up with uneven prints, patchy ink, and wrist pain from endless rubbing.

  • ✔️ Adjusting pressure doesn’t always fix the issue
  • ✔️ Re-inking can lead to messy, overloaded prints
  • ✔️ Hand burnishing takes forever (and wrecks your wrist!)

The Pooki Press reduces the effort needed for perfect prints and speeds up the process by 3x—while keeping ink coverage more even. Some tricky areas may still need a little extra hand burnishing, but overall, it’s a game-changer.

That’s why thousands of printmakers love it. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever printed without it!

✨ What Printmakers Are Saying About Their Pooki Press ✨

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.

✅ Want Some Tips on Using the Pooki Press?

📌 Why Do My Prints Come Out Patchy?

🎨 1. Uneven Ink Application

  • Listen for the "sizzling bacon" sound! This means your ink coverage is perfect.
  • Apply multiple thin layers rather than one thick layer for even distribution.
  • Roll ink in two directions (at 90 degrees) for best coverage.

📜 2. Choosing the Right Paper

  • Lightweight & smooth papers (e.g., Seawhite Cupcycle 140gsm) provide the best ink absorption.
  • Heavier, textured papers might need adjustments in pressure or multiple passes.
  • Experiment with different paper types to find your perfect match!

🛠 3. Pressure & Press Setup

  • Ensure the press plates are perfectly parallel—fully tighten bolts and wing-nuts.
  • Use a press blanket, possibly doubling it up for even pressure on certain areas.

🔍 4. Hand Burnishing for Tricky Areas

  • Use a spoon or baren to manually apply extra pressure on tricky areas.
  • Slowly peel paper back to check ink coverage before fully removing.

⚡ 5. Experiment & Adjust!

Small tweaks in ink, pressure, or paper type can significantly improve your prints. Keep experimenting! If you're still having trouble, reach out to us at shop@pookipresses.co.uk—we’re happy to help!

🔧 Do I Have to Set Up the Press?
  • Unbox your press and place it on a sturdy, flat surface.
  • The press comes ready to use, but for optimal results:
  • Fully close the press plates to ensure alignment.
  • After your first print, leave the press closed and use the provided 5mm Allen Key to tighten the U-Bend bolts.
  • If needed, secure wing nuts firmly using pliers.
  • This reduces shifting of prints or paper.
🎨 How Do I Layer the Block, Paper, and Blanket Correctly?

A properly set-up press ensures even pressure. Here’s the ideal layering:

  1. Bottom Plate (base)
  2. Newsprint/Scrap Paper (optional, protects from ink)
  3. Your Block (Lino, woodcut, or type-high block)
  4. Printing Paper (directly over inked block)
  5. Press Blanket (for even pressure)
  6. Top Plate (applies pressure—close and push!)
🧐 Troubleshooting for the Best Print
  • Patchy print? Try doubling the press blanket or increasing pressure. Also, apply thinner ink layers in two directions.
  • Paper tearing or smudging? Adjust pressure or switch to smoother, lightweight paper (Seawhite Cupcycle 140gsm).

P.S. Don’t Wait—You’ll Regret Missing This Deal!

This isn’t just a press—it’s the tool that will transform your printmaking forever. But if you wait too long, you risk:

  • ❌ Struggling with uneven prints for months to come
  • ❌ Wasting hours on frustrating hand burnishing
  • ❌ Missing out on this exclusive bundle & lifetime guarantee
