Gift Tag and Business Card Printing Press.

thingiverse

This compact printing press is perfect for producing gift tags and business card-sized prints. The functional printing area measures 3.5 inches by 2 inches. To create plates, simply craft a 3.5x2-inch plate about a few millimeters thick, sketch out your design, and then extrude it out of the opposite side of the plate to a depth of approximately .75 mm. I've designed a small stand to hold the platen and the plates upside down for effortless inking, ensuring they remain mess-free when working with multiple plates for multi-color prints. The easiest way to prevent ink from getting on the plates when rolling them out with a brayer is to include a small border around the design. However, this might not always be feasible or desirable, so I've also included a small frame that goes around a plate, allowing the brayer to run along it and keep things clean.
