Have visited the Polymetaal site... Darrell thanks for sending.... The presses look good, sound good and are 
inexpensive but am still wondering how they are to work on/with. If anyone has first hand knowledge of them 
would appreciate some feedback.

Are you speaking about a nipping press?  I have one of those, but I
thought pressure 
had to be rolled across on prints rather than stamped down.  Am I wrong?
 The nipping press
has a plate that comes down onto the lower plate by turning a wheel that
looks like 
a small steering wheel--the kind on a car except made of iron.  Wouldn't
the image on the board be crushed?  Mine cost only $45 at an antique
flea market.  Maybe we're talking about 
different things.
