Jobbing presses

A Jobbing Press is a printing press common in the 19th and 20th centuries. The press is meant to be operated by a pressman working on small jobs, as opposed to long print runs or newspaper work. A printer with a jobber would most commonly print personal stationary, handbills, or other small printing jobs. The jobbing press has been largely replaced by the copy machine for small and medium runs, and by the desktop computer for personal stationary.

The jobber is the preferred press for letterpress printers who know produce high-end prints (often wedding invitations) for customers who want an antique effect.

Chandler & Price was a company that made a widely used jobber press.
