Buy / Swap / Sell / Give


This page is offered as a community service, to help printmakers find each other in order to source/recycle/sell/give away and FIND printmaking materials and equipment.

Please contact each other direct - I’m trusting the info provided to me is accurate, honest and reasonable - so you’ll need to work out between you whether it’s for you or not. (Let’s face it, a lot of print gear is historic or archaic… Not just out of warranty, but possibly also hailing back to ye olden times, before warranties were even invented 🤣)

Caveat emptor indeedy!

And please let me know when a listing needs to be deleted or updated 💙
