Without bed plates or blankets, the press weighs 48 lb. Bed plates and one gray 1/4″ cushion blanket are sold in a separate package from the press body. We recommend the additional purchases of a catcher and a pusher with your press.For Your Information — we recommend using three blankets — a cushion, a pusher, and a catcher — to equalize the pressure and lessen the strain on the upper roller shafts of your press. We also recommend the additional purchase of a catcher and a pusher with your press. The catcher blanket should be placed directly on top of your damp printing paper, the cushion blanket on top of the catcher, and the pusher on the very top. The catcher blanket should be washed regularly so that it doesn’t become stiff from the sizing.
