He also said, "Of course this is a good chance to customize it. Sometimes a short person may want to take an inch or two off the feed table so he or she can stand closer." So it's really up to you and what is comfortable. Good luck! Hugo,

This press is a 10x15, though, so would it help you to know its measurements if you have a 12x18? I have a friend who has a few C&Ps, though; let me put out an email to him and I'll let you know. Hugo,

Have you established the size yet? If it's the same size I have, would you do something for me? The delivery table on mine is bust and I need to know the depth measurement from the inside corner of the vertical backstop to the front edge. I'd like to build a new board of the correct dimension. Is your C&P finished yet? .-= Hugo´s last blog ...<a href="http://artletterpress.blogspot.com/2009/10/interesting-encounter.html" rel="nofollow">Interesting Encounter</a> =-. Hi Lauren,

I think a lot of people assume it is (I've asked other printers before!), but according to the <a href="http://boxcarpress.com/community/manuals/cp-newseries-parts-list.pdf" rel="nofollow">C&P parts list</a>, it is the piece with the tympan paper (where you put your paper to be printed on) that is the platen. So you are right *blush* Alex,
