Does the professional printmaker need to buy their own press?
NO, it is desirable to have your own studio and intaglio press, but it is often not financially feasible for the print artist to purchase their own press. Consequently many artists try to obtain teaching positions at a college or university, where they are able to use the facilities for their own work. Screenprinters, however do not need expensive presses and can produce prints in any area that has a table and space to dry prints. Some printmakers may also join local art co-ops that rent studio space and presses.
