ABOUT VoBEN

VoBEN was founded by visual artist Tomaž Jelenc in Ivanovac, Croatia. Main goal was to build a boutique printmaking practice specializing in hand-crafted, custom-built etching presses and accessories for printmaking. First press is in use as the centerpiece of Jelenc printmaking studio.

Since than, VoBEN has established a reputation in the European Region for exceptional quality etching presses and printmaking accessories. Every press or printmaking tool is custom-designed and hand-assembled to exacting tolerances to suit individual needs using only premium quality, heavy-duty materials and components. Design excellence, precision engineering, high performance, and longevity define the benchmarks set by our presses and printmaking equipment.

Once assembled, inspected, and tested, the entire range of VoBEN Printmaking presses and printmaking equipment is packaged by hand and crated securely before we ship safely to all parts of the world. We stand behind the quality of our products to such a degree that our printmaking presses carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 20 years.

Rather than offering an exhaustive list of products addressing all aspects of the printmaking process, we offer a boutique and highly curated range of presses and accessories. This allows us to better focus our research, development and production resources to ensure we continue to innovate with our processes and products, and are able to keep exceeding our clients’ expectation into the future.

We are so proud and feel privileged to be able to work personally and in collaboration with artists worldwide to produce printmaking equipment that will hopefully bring many years of enjoyment, satisfaction, and unbridled creativity.

We look forward to hearing from you soon - Happy printmaking!
