You know when you pick something up, and it instantly just feels right? That. It's heavy, solid, and feels really well-made. Also, great personal service, and very quick delivery. Lovely, and I'm looking forward to using it much more!

Angela Sanderson

Our Pooki Press arrived the day after purchase, we were ready to get printing immediately. The press produces strong, sharp prints and has made printing with all our year groups a great success. Thank you!

Graham Stewart

The press and other things arrived quickly and very well packaged. The outcome printing is much better than I expected. This should save me so much time compared with using a wooden spoon.

Alison Bailey

I LOVE my Pooki Press!!
I suffer with arthritis and this press has made my hobbylso much easier!
Thank you

Joanna Martin

I love using this press when I go to local print making workshops. It’s so easy to use and makes the process great fun so I decided to buy the large size bundle for a Christmas present for my husband ( so I can use it too !)
It’s great that a local company makes it - it arrived really quickly and I love the follow up helpful hints.

Allan Pilcher

Really impressed with this product and customer service. Arrived super promptly in time for an anniversary girt. Eco friendly packaging. Makes me want to make more linocuts now that I have this.

If you want a quality press, look no farther than Pooki.,

I wanted a quality printing press for my nascent Etsy shop for quite some time, I was finally able to afford one (paying in three) and I haven’t looked back since. If you ink your block well, the pressure is far more even and consistent than I could achieve by hand. It also looks beautiful in my little office / studio space. It’s not too heavy or bulky and you can feel the quality in hand. It was smaller than I expected - which was a really good thing as I have limited space on my desk and it’s light enough to transport from room to room with ease.

As a side note, It’s also well worth mentioning that in terms of customer service, Pooki are second to none, if my experience was anything to go by. Tim is a lovely guy and sent me a personal email with a bespoke video demonstration as I had a few teething problems setting it up.

i got it in pink and it’s the cutest thing ever, makes my setup so much better and takes so much time off of getting the initial press done before burnishing it :)

✅ 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:
  • Bottom Plate (base)
  • Newsprint/Scrap Paper (optional, protects from ink)
  • Your Block (Lino, woodcut, or type-high block)
  • Printing Paper (directly over inked block)
  • Press Blanket (for even pressure)
  • 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
