Another moody moment in-store at MES Fairfield. Enjoy 20% off our favourite Silk Cut Lino – in all sizes – this August 2026!

Our Silk Cut Lino has been specially made for artists. It is softer and less dense than traditional brown lino and features a fabric backing. Images can be drawn on to the product with pencil, ink or transfer and can be put on a hot plate to warm for easy cutting.

Silk Cut Lino can be cut easily by scoring through the back of the lino and then folding to break of the new size.

We carry Silk Cut Lino in sizes from 30x30cm squares all the way up to a 1m x 1.8m roll!

The Fitzroy Etching Presses 400 Press is one of our most popular etching presses for those working in small spaces or as a first press. Made locally, by Fitzroy Etching Presses, these are built to order in with a turnaround time of approximately 6-8 weeks.

The 400 press features 75mm diameter rollers, Japanese roller bearings, laser cut sides and brass safety stops. The price for this press includes a solid steel bed, 650mm hand wheel and safety strap. This is designed to be used on a bench or table top, but can alternatively be mounted on a stand to be purchased separately, with the option of lockable castors for easy movement. The 400 is also an excellent choice for people who need a portable press for workshops and residencies, as when the bed has been removed the press can be easily lifted by two people.
