My new Albion arrives on Monday. I am buying this unseen, though I have received a photo of part of it:
This is much bigger than my current Albion and the idea is that I can not only edition current large blocks but also plan larger images for the future.
This has all set a flurry of activity; I need to clear space in the studio and also find the money to fund this purchase; thesepresses are not cheap! I will continue to work on the money tomorrow but the current task is to dis-assemble the Arab press to point that it will get through the door. This Herculean task continues tomorrow.

Hi, i'm buying an Albion unseen. It's big, 24x18 inch built in 1865 and weighs 1 ton. I'm a little freaked out though about the size and weight. I'm only renting and i'm worried about how i'm going to get it into my little shed, and when i next move etc. Is the one you've shown putting together smaller than the one i'm getting? I was told i would need a crane truck and engine hoist. It sounds awful to me and i'm wondering whether to give it all a miss. Do you have any helpful advice for me? cheers,David.
