| in short, yes. If you only want to print one colour then they will be fine, but I had an old ebay press and it wouldn't do more then 2 colours without registration issues. You could build the same thing for aobut $45.00 US like other do. Just get some jiffy hinges and some plywood. When you want to step up to multicolour then you could probably find a cheap 4/4 press used, check warehouse auctions. |
