Generally, if you can use a traditional press you can use the Uber. The unique design takes advantage of your body weight. As you lean into and press down on the print roller your force is amplified more than 8 times. Furthermore, since you use only one blanket, less force is required to print the plate than a traditional press using three blankets.

All Uber parts are stocked in quantity and sold separately. If repairs are ever needed all replacement parts can be shipped fast via UPS or FedEx and easily installed by the user. The Uber is designed for a lifetime of use. Should an accident occur, your investment is secure with original Uber replacement parts.

Pressure is regulated three ways: 1) More or less force applied by the user; 2) Beam height: a higher beam height supplies less leverage and force on the print roller; 3) Blanket selection is the simplest and easiest way to adjust pressure. A thinner blanket will produce more pressure than a thicker blanket. For high pressure plates use blanket #1, and where less pressure is required use blanket #2 or #3.

Some assembly is required, and where possible thumb screws are used. You should allow 20 minutes to unpack and attach the platen support wings and optional leg stand.

Whether it is a Middle School or University Program, the Uber's extremely safe design, rugged construction and low operating cost make it ideal for any school environment. The Uber can easily be transported between schools or taken to off-campus demonstrations. Multiple Ubers can be purchased for the price of a traditional press, increasing the press-to-student ratio and reducing the wait time for a press. Teachers can store the print roller separately from the press, controlling it's use.

The Uber is easy to operate and a lot of fun . Most people master the basics after just a couple of prints. Printing on the Uber is straightforward requiring very few adjustments. One beam height setting will accomodate almost all plate types and blanket combinations, from Mylar to Zinc. The large platen with registration grid makes paper placement and registraion easy for papers 22" x 30" or smaller.

Yes, the Uber is extremely safe. Both hands are required to apply pressure, greatly minimizing the chance of injury. The adjustable legs can be lowered to an appropriate working height for children. With adult supervision, even young children can print low pressure plates. All children should be cautioned about sticking their fingers between the magnet and a metal surface, as injury could result.

The Uber Table Press can easily be transported with legs attached in a small truck or van. Special corner brackets are provided to remove the table legs if needed. For maximum portability, the optional Uber Mobil Kit converts your Table Press or Workstation into the Uber Mobile, perfect for airline travel.

The table is light weight and rigid. The heavy gauge steel legs are designed to spring to level accomodating uneven floor surfaces. The majority of printing forces bear down on the table and legs. The accessory table provided with the Uber Workstation has a steel center beam making the table strong enough to support weight in excess of 200 pounds.

The Uber is designed to be virtually maintenance free. The platen and table top should be kept clean using any plastic cleaner. A light application of furniture polish on the table top will keep the platen sliding smoothly and extend the life of the Melamine finish. The solid stainless steel print roller and bearings require no oiling. The print roller should be kept clean using soap and water or rubbing alcohol.

The Uber's specially designed print roller has no edge. Overlapping the roller passes prints the image much like an ink jet printer, one 3" line at a time.

No, prints made on the Uber are indistinguishable from a traditional press. You get the same embossed plate edge.
