Solid press for a new printer

Hello printers,

I have been slowly collecting everything needed to start printing from type to a composing stick and I think all I need know is a press.

I’ve been lurking on here for a while hoping to find the perfect one but figured it wouldn’t hurt to put out a wanted ad.

Ideally I’d love a proofing press or showcard but anything that reliably holds type and prints is enough to get started.

I’m fresh out of college so my budget isn’t as free as I would hope but if anybody has a press in there shop they don’t use and are willing to help an aspiring printer get up and running please reach out.

Also don’t mind if it is a bit broken down. I love fixing things especially if it means it might be a bit cheaper.

currently located in Iowa but for the right press I’d travel to the ends of the earth.
