The KSF 1

The KSF Standard was the first press we manufactured under our KSF badge, launched in 2015 and built to answer a simple brief: a genuinely portable hot foil press that didn’t compromise on precision. Its self-centering type holder means less time setting up and more time producing consistent, professional results, run after run. Nearly a decade on, it remains one of our most trusted machines — the natural choice for retailers and artisans personalising small leather goods, notebooks and gifts, where speed and repeatability matter as much as finish quality. Paired with our brass type this is the ultimate personalisation package.
