Hi, I’m Graham.

I’m a printmaker, designer, and the person behind Diode Press.

Like a lot of creative people, I started building tools out of necessity. I was tired of crooked prints, messy setups, and wasted paper. So I made the first version of a linocut registration jig for myself — and it worked. I used it in my studio for every edition after that.

This lead me to design and manufacture all of the tools you will find here.

Why Diode Press Exists

Diode Press is a small, one-person shop where I design and make printmaking tools that actually help. Each product is born from something I needed while carving, inking, or printing — nothing added unless it’s useful.

I test every tool in my own print sessions, and I only sell what I believe in.

Tools with a Maker’s Mindset

My approach blends handcraft and modern tools — CNC, laser, 3D printing — not for mass production, but to bring precision and repeatability to hands-on printing.

Whether you’re just getting started or run a small studio, these tools are designed to fit right into your workflow.

More Than Just Products

I also share tutorials, tips, and ideas for printmakers who want to get better, learn new techniques, or just see how others work.

If you’re into linocut, block printing, or simply getting your hands inky — welcome.
