How to set up the Large and Small Rochat Etching Press
Creating a new guide and set of instructions with Nick Richards, Senior Print Studio Technician. In this project, we decided to convert a booklet of 10 pages full of information into a small, well-illustrated and informative steps on how to set up a small Rochat Etching Press, as there will be times when the press needs to be rest from the start and this booklet is the guide to help anyone to rest the press only and when in doubt of the pressure setting.

How to set up A large Rochat Etching Press
This leaflet was printed by hand, Silkscreen printing, as it's cost-effective and it keeps to aesthetics of the studio, who are a printing studio.
100 How to Guides were printed with 3 primary colours and a black colour ink system.
I, as a designer, wanted to create a leaflet so it's easy and compact to take around the studio or be kept in the printmaker's lockers or journals. What we also did was laminated the leaflet as its double-sided meaning that one can always be kept on the Rochet printing press.
