Nelson Etching Press - enquiries: johnmulvay@gmail.com

On a recent trip to Nelson in the South Island of New Zealand to paint a mural I took along a table top etching press for Esther Remnant, a gifted Nelson print maker, to try out while I was there.
It worked. She spent a day printing some of her beautiful lino cuts and they printed fine so she bought it.
