engravingpress


Burnaby Village Museum has been offered a Waite and Saville Ltd. engraving
press
 
This press has been used in Vancouver printing companies since the 1890's.
It was made in Othey, England. Pat # 1655000
 
This is a large press 3' X 5' by 8' high.
 
An engraving press uses copper or steel plates and prints using an intaglio
process.
 
The last job this press was used for was printing the diplomas for UBC.
 
The press is still in the shop but they will need to know if there is any
interest as the shop is downsizing.
 
Images are available if you are interested.
