Printing with a Pasta Machine: A Surprising Alternative to a Press

If you've ever wanted to try intaglio printmaking but don’t have access to a traditional press, don’t worry—your kitchen might just have the answer! A simple pasta machine can be repurposed as a small-scale printing press, perfect for printing collagraphs and drypoints at home. While it won’t replace a heavy-duty etching press, it’s a surprisingly effective option for experimentation and small prints. How It Works - Pasta machines are designed to roll out sheets of dough with consistent pressure, which makes them a decent alternative for pressing inked plates onto paper. The rollers act similarly to the rollers on an etching press, squeezing the damp paper into the inked plate to create a print.
