The KSF 3

Introduced in 2017, the KSF 3 is rapidly approaching a milestone of 1000 models produced. While platen (“clamshell”) presses aren’t new, the KSF 3 benefits from Karl’s expertise gained at JTM, drawing on the success of their Dut 21, Series 82, and 98 models, and incorporates valuable customer feedback. We believe this combination provides a superior printing experience.

We’re proud to be featured by satisfied customers like Sal Studios, who showcase our press in their highly regarded “Foil, Pressure, Dwell, Heat” course: https://www.sal-studios.com/foil-pressure-dwell-heat showing the international reach of our press!
