Feedback... (July 2013)

"I just thought I’d let you know how pleased I am with the press I ordered from you recently. I hadn’t heard of it before I found it on your website, and I just ordered it in hope that it would be a more reasonably priced affordable press: it’s great! Thanks for marketing it: it’s very useful indeed for someone like me, an artist at home without access to any other presses. Kind regards."
