Adana Eight-Five
The printing press used for the course is the Adana, a tabletop press for hobbyists; this model was introduced in 1953.
Pulling down the handle moves the twin rollers up and over the inked disc; if a forme has been inserted then the rollers will transfer ink to the type on their way down. At the same time, the platen is moved up towards the forme. Thus, once the type has been inked, pulling the handle all the way will create an impression: the printed sheet.
