Print Shop Registry for Puerto Rico
April 1, 2020
This Print Shop Registry is one of 3 initiatives by the Ad Hoc Committee for Community Exchange SGCI 2020 Puertográfico! Help out print shops in and around San Juan to repair presses, source tools and supplies, and restock their shops so they can keep making their brilliant artworks!
This website compiles our list of new or gently used print shop supplies, tools, and time/expertise requests, but does not sell the items directly. You can use your favorite print shop supplier, bring extra items from your studio, or ask your print program or community to donate supplies. Some supplier options are linked below most items if you need a starting place!
We recommend you support Takach whenever possible, as they have been extremely generous in donating towards our "Let's Leave a Press" campaign for an amazing floor model litho press for the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras and supporting McClain's who generously donated funds and woodcut tools for the campaign, as well! Please read on to see how you can get free shipping on items from these companies to Puerto Rico!!
If you would like to 'claim' a gift, be sure to click on the 'Give this gift' button so the gift will be claimed in your name, and we will know what to expect!
Ideally, these items can travel with you in your luggage (or a friend's!) to the Puertográfico Conference in April, or we can provide a shipping address if necessary.
For the items requesting help/time in the studios repairing equipment, we have a general calendar listing a window of time ranging 1 week before the conference through one week after the conference; however, exact dates/times you are able to help should be emailed to jvelasquez AT fau DOT edu for coordination with local print shops in San Juan.
HOW TO ORDER FROM TAKACH and MCCLAIN'S AND RECEIVE FREE SHIPPING TO PUERTO RICO!
Anyone who purchases donation supplies from Takach Press for SGCI Puerto Rico can order on their website https://shop.takachpress.com/ Enter your own information on the billing info side. Enter the receiving shop name on the shipping line (each item needed names a school or schools).
The ORDER NOTES will need the specific name of the school/organization that you wish the supplies to be donated to. If it is any item listed on here for "multiple shops/spaces" please put "ANY SHOP."
USE PROMO CODE : "PrintShopRegistry" when checking out to receive free shipping of donation to Puerto Rico! These specific orders will be packed with the Takach Litho Press Model 2648 that is being donated and shipped in the crate to Puerto Rico.
Orders will be processed with Credit Card Only. No Purchase Orders Please.
Takach Press will process these orders in separate boxes and attach the packing slip/invoice to each order. This way our customer/donor will receive proper credit for their donation and the donation recipient will know who donated the products to them!!
Any printmaking paper can be purchased thru Takach Paper Company. 877-611-7197. www.takachpaper.com http://www.takachpaper.com/
Mention that the paper is a donation and Takach can ship paper with the press crate as well. Same deal. Same deadline.
The deadline to place these orders at Takach Press is 2-21-20 for free shipping in the crate to Puerto Rico.
