Reconditioned Presses
Karl restoring a John T Marshall hot foil press

How it works

Marshall pedigree, in-house

Our co-founder Karl brings over 20 years of experience from John T Marshall itself, so every press we restore is rebuilt to the original, exacting JTM build standards. In an industry with more than its share of cowboys claiming to know Marshall machines, that provenance is your guarantee: these are the real thing, done properly.

Recent stock

Stock moves quickly. Recent machines include a 9" × 8" chase bookbinding press, an 8" × 6" platen, a 10.5" × 10.5" die-plate bookbinding press, a large 9" × 6" pneumatic and a 3" × 4.5" reciprocating-head press ideal for rosettes. Most sell before they are listed, so tell us what you are looking for and we will call you first.

Wanted: tired machines

We are always buying JTM and quality hot foil machines in any condition. The rougher, the better the story. If you have a press gathering dust, we will give it a workshop-honest valuation and collect.
