We picked up this big brother of the smaller HOBO (link here) from a garage. One very important reason for the 220-kilogram press is that it still looks good.
And it’s just wonderful to work with. We cleaned it, gave it three new ink rollers, tested it and printed with it. But see for yourself:

A really great Boston that we really enjoyed testing. This Hohner Boston Hobo1 platen press was lovingly cleaned in our workshop. EXTRA: We gave it new rollers. So you can print and print and… you know.

Because you always know what you have

This beautiful Hohner Boston Platen in A5 format has spent its life to date in southern Germany. Surrounded by romantic landscapes and friendly people.

Initially it was used for a lot of printing, then it was only exhibited for viewing.
We have dismantled this fine Boston platen, cleaned it, checked it and printed on it to our complete satisfaction.

Abzugspresse
Hohner HOKO I

liebevoll “Nudel” genannt

Sie kennen das, fertig gesetzt, alles fein. Aber man möchte doch noch mal kurz einen Korrekturabzug haben. Den Tiegel einrichten dauert.
Aber mit dieser schönen Abzugspresse, “nudeln” Sie das Papier auf den eingefärbten Druckstock. Einfach so – und können Ihrem Kunden zeigen, wie es aussieht.

Wir haben die Abzugspresse verkauft. Sehen Sie sich bei uns um – wir haben noch eine größere im Angebot.

prints and prints and prints.….large formats

We already have a Hohner Boston platen in A5 format here. Both Boston platens are real working machines. Not quite as beautiful as their older brothers and not as delicate either – but hey, you want to print with them. Right?
We picked up this big brother of the smaller HOBO (link here) in a cellar. One very weighty reason for the 220-kilogram platen is that it looks almost like it came from the shop. It has rarely been used and has new rollers. Rarely, but sold here with this Hohner is a second locking frame, which is also new. A large platen with which you can print almost anything – even A3 posters (twice ;.))
So you can print and print and .… You already know.
… this table top is already sold – perhaps you’ll take a look to the smaller one? (link here)
