Todd of Todd’s Press Time has retired after 45 years in the printing trade, but is still active in the craft. As a fourth-generation printer, Todd tests everything he makes to ensure it performs to professional standards.
He continues to supply high-quality rubber letterpress rollers, bases, and chases for presses including Pearl, Adana, Kelsey, Golding, Heidelberg, and many others.
Each roller is made with stone-ground rubber, straight new cores, and locked trucks—engineered to meet the precision demands of polymer plate printing.
Todd is still active in the community with a shop on eBay and responds to email requests.

Hay that’s me, I have enjoyed the challenge making rollers and parts a lot of different presses out there and many changes on them over the years.
Got to meet a lot of good people in the letterpress community. This is my hobby not sure how rollers became my side hustle it just did I enjoy restoring presses a printer by trade.
You do not need to print to be in letterpress there is many things that can be made and sold, best part is no competition from Walmart.
Always amazed at how many rollers I sell and have sold all over the world, thanks to eBay and sights like this have been good to me.
You can always eMail or click on my name here not much of a phone guy normally not with me, I do return all messages. Thanks for the recognition Todd.
