Around 1000lbs. The bed itself weighs in at 285 lbs. 3 men to lift it!!
Some nice extras included in the $3800 price tag Included items were Hahnemuehle paper, inks, a large drying stand (1/3 is in the press room will need to find room for the rest later. Also got 1 large brayer and 1 super large brayer, new cost is $300+ CAD.
I hope to be making photogravures this winter.
Thank you to all who helped move this beast. The next move will probably be after I die. I am hoping I can use it over the next 20 years to produce limited edition photogravures. If I can make back my $4000, that would be a nice bonus.
Note* Nick the seller decided to hire a mover for the 285lb press bed. That was an additional $300 cost, we split it 50|50. So the total cost for the press and extras was $3950 CAD.
Note** Got the little desk table free earlier this week. It fits the spot but not sure I will keep it.

| The garbage can was expensive, over $100 but it is to prevent fires a safety concern. I guess with some inks the cloths that are used to wipe off the inks from the plates can SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST and start a fire! Best to bee safe, pay the money and all the rags go inside and are changed out daily. |
