EXAMPLE OF A POPULAR TYPE OF SMALL PRESS. RAMAGE'S PROOF PRESS WAS A SMALLER, TABLE MOUNTED VERSION OF HIS SCREW PRESS, AGAIN PART WOOD & PART IRON, WITH A PLATEN SIZE OF 12-1/4" X 6-1/2" (REF 1, PG 47). HAND PRESSES WERE GRADUALLY REPLACED BY CYLINDER AND JOB PRESSES FOR BULK PRINTING, BUT WERE RETAINED FOR PULLING PROOFS, AS THEY MADE BETTER PROOFS THAN GALLEY ROLLER PRESS AND DID LESS HARM TO TYPE FACES OR PLATES. - Area Notes
