Everything for Letterpress and Printmaking.
PATRICK Roe started The Logan Press after half a lifetime of supplying, restoring and moving old letterpress machinery and equipment.
Although he has a particular love of Arab presses since owning one as a schoolboy, after AMR Press merged with The Logan Press to become AMR Logan Press, he developed a respect for all sorts of other printmaking equipment.
AMR Press, run by Giles Hovendon, was one of the few companies in the UK to specialise in the supply, transport, installation, maintenance and reconditioning of printmaking and letterpress equipment.
They had 25 years experience of this work, having grown from the renowned Printing House Museum in Cockermouth, Cumbria.
WITH experience of running an engineering company, Melanie Hollin was the obvious choice to look after the AMR Logan Press team. She is the first point of contact over the ’phone or email and handles all the estimating, invoicing, accounts and most other things you can think of.
RICHARD Hemingway is based at his forge and specialises in making parts for presses and patterns for casting. In the photo, he is forming a new handle-bar for a Columbian printing press.
