I am searching for a very precise printing easel. I use Saunders and wish to find something better. I had once heard about a German brand but don't recall the name. Does anyone know? Looking for suggestions. thanks carol

We use Leitz easels here at work, and they are easy to set even borders with, and to crop as required.

If you are talking about borderLESS, try a vacuumn easel. Pricey, but you'll get the results you want.

Carol check out those made by Photon-Beard. Available as two or four blade, with adjustable paper stops (up to 2") and on the four blade type you can print black keylines around the borders. The four blade is listed in Calumet's recent catalogue. They used to be hand-made here in the UK but I'm not sure if they still are. Regards,

Carol, I've found nothing better than Saunders Single Size easels for the specified sizes they offer. Is that what you have, or are you looking for adjustable easels?

Dear Carol,

I also have the same problem before, but final I found. The brand is "Dunco"-vacuum easel. The homepage is "http://www.dunco.de". You can search for your favourite size.
