These single-lever machines are for embossing heavy papers or designs which require large dies. Dies of up to 75mm (3") diameter or 80mm x 35mm (3.15" x 1.4") are possible. Throat sizes range from 55mm (2.15") up to 150mm (6") from the centre of the die to the back of the press. If the paper can be curled, the reach can be longer. The heavy castings comprising the body are of either cast iron or aluminium depending on the duty. The large machines are often used to produce detailed armorial designs and Vesica Piscis shaped ecclesiastical seals. Security can be assured by a stainless steel locking bar and one or two padlocks as an optional extra, at extra cost.
