Gilbert Bantoft on the FAG Control 405: ‹We use it for printing Lino cuts, Photopolymer plates and conventional letterpress type.
We find it useful for reduction prints from Lino as the registration is spot on. I run evening classes in letterpress and besides the Fag we have a Chandler & Price 15x10, a Vandercook No 17 press, 3 Adana 5x3, 2 Adana 8x5 and a Heidelberg Platen. The FAG is our most used press.›

Studio: The Finnish Labour Museum Werstas, Tampere, Finland
Kimmo Kestinen on the FAG Swiss Proof 40: ‹It is used mostly for posters etc. The machine is a part of semipermanent exhibition about printing presses of the 1950's. It is a part of a larger exhibition «Our town», which is about doing all sorts of things together. The press was important media for the Labour movement. What is significant, that this part of the exhibition is «living», that is, you can see all sorts of printing press activities in real life using the same methods that were in use in letterpresses. This exhibition has gained some interest in modern typographers also.›
