This simulator renders in 3D. The diagram behind this message shows the same concept, and every control in the panel still works.
How to drive itGrab the brayer and roll it across the forme to charge it with ink, then click the lever or press space with the canvas focused to pull the impression. Every parameter is clamped, and Reset puts the press back where it started.
Note. This is an educational model, not a prediction. Every number it produces is indicative only, and the model simplifies more than it keeps. Follow the instructions supplied with your own equipment, read the safety notes on the related tool pages, and remember that a press, a guillotine, a solvent and lead type are all genuinely hazardous at the bench.
