This press is a lot sturdier than it looks in the photo. I would have rated it five stars, but for a couple problems which are easily solved for a few extra bucks.1. The bottom of this press will scratch the surface of your table. The metal is folded downward and meets the table edge-on, so there's nowhere to attach rubber feet or other padding. My solution was to glue some scraps of 3/4"-thick wood to the underside (on the horizontal surface, as close to the corners as possible), and then attach rubber feet to those.2. The foam covering the press bed is too squishy. If you apply enough pressure for the ink to transfer evenly, you end up producing deep indentations in the paper, or even wrinkles if the paper is thin. I removed the foam and now use a felt blanket between the paper and the press.3. This one's more personal preference. By default, this press operates with the inked block placed upside-down on top of the paper, but I get more consistent results when I place the paper on top of the block.

I print mostly with speedycut blocks using waterbase ink, and using the Speedball red plastic baren to press prints sometimes left red streaks across my paper. Though attaching a large piece of adhesive felt (like the kind used for furniture feet) to the baren helped, it still meant having to press quite hard, and sometimes ghosting would occur if the paper shifted even slightly. This press has done away with those issues, and I'm really thrilled. It also means less repetitive stress on my wrist and hands. My only complaint is that the press top is substantially shorter than the base, and thus it's easy to miss your target or press only part of your block if you aren't used to with how far the top comes down when you press. I really don't know why it wasn't made a bit longer, but it's definitely a solidly-built piece of equipment. Also folds flat for easy storage and transport. Wipes clean. Will see how it holds up to regular use once I've had more time with it.

This little speedball press is easy to use and gives good results. I didn't buy mine from this vendor but this looks like the best price around.
