Arnold Grummer Presses: Papermakers and book artists appreciate the professional finish and even pressure Arnold Grummer's presses deliver to handmade papers and books. The QuikNip is aesthetically pleasing, yet robust and proven to hold up well in daily use with students and staff in the Syracuse University Library’s Department of Preservation and Conservation. I highly recommend it, and not just because I helped develop it. It'll be great for students, amateurs, workshop situations, and with professionals as an additional press, because one can never have enough.

Large Book & Paper Press
Standard Book & Paper Press

The QuikNip (above) was designed with bookbinders in mind.
