DIY Mangle Press Upgrades and Setup for Linocut Printing

Time to upgrade the diy/selfmade Printing Press I made a while ago from an old cast iron washing wringer / clothes mangle. We make a new bigger printing bed, a clear sheet for easier cleaning and add Linoleum Runners for smother Linocut Printing. Also a Reference Sheet for better positioning and new Printing Blankets cut from synthetic felt. I do setup the Press mainly for Linocut / Blockprinting but try to do it in a way so I can also do etching prints in the future.
