Etching Press. The Fome 3656 is a manual intaglio press equipped with a rack‑and‑pinion plate advancement system, allowing smooth and reliable printing even at low pressure. This makes it particularly suitable for linoleum and woodcut printing, as well as light intaglio techniques. Solid steel rollers and a stable construction ensure consistent results for studio, workshop, and educational use.

With its extended roller length, the 3656 offers a wider working area than smaller models in the series, making it ideal for medium‑format relief and intaglio projects. The large hand wheel provides controlled movement, while the adjustable roller height allows precise pressure tuning for different plate materials. The press is supplied with a durable metal plate, ready for immediate use.
