Vandercook

The company changed hands many times and is now called NA Graphics, a letterpress supply house, located in Silverton, Colorado.

Vandersons stopped manufacturing presses in 1976 at which time they only made models HS27, SP20,[1] SP25 and Universal I.

In January 1994, Tom Bell and Hal Sterne of NA Graphics bought the company and moved it to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Then in October 1996 they sold NA Graphics to Fritz Klinke who moved the operation to Silverton, Colorado.

NA Graphics is still selling parts and supplies for many of the models of Vandercook presses.

With the exception of models 0, 01, 03 and 099, which were gravity type presses,[4] all of the Vandercooks had geared cylinders.

[5] This unique 4 color model was an offset proofing press that featured a common impression cylinder surrounded by the 4 printing units.

This press was capable of running 1500 sheets per hour and automatically producing progressive proofs.
