N0 3 POTTER
PROOF PRESS
SIZE OF BED, 25x25 INCHES

The No. 3 Potter Proof Press
equipped with an automatic ink-
ing device and feed board is the
most complete proof press ever
offered printers. This new model
recognizes and anticipates every
demand for efficiency in modern
printing office methods and will
contribute more effectiveness to
No.3 POTTER PROOF PRESS EQUIPPED WITH STYLE A   the whole matter of proofs than
INKING DEVICE AND FEED BOARD
has heretofore been thought pos-
sible or even necessary. The outstanding features of this model are: Capacity to handle any form
within the bed size of 25x25 inches; easy operation, as the bed rides entirely on rollers, the large
impression roller turning on roller bearings and the cylinder on ball bearings, both packed in
grease. Friction is thereby reduced to the minimum and, in spite of its size and weight, this
press works easier than most other proof presses of even smaller size. The impression is rigid
and accurate, and good register is assured because of the elimination of lost motion and side
movement. The automatic inking device is a complete new device, made in two styles, one with
drum-feed roller for quantity proofing and one without for intermittent proofing.The presence
of inking device does not in any way interfere with the use of the machine when hand rolling.
