✦ Designed for Printmakers, by a Printmaker
Created in 2013 by artist and innovator Matt Bagley, the Print Frog® was born out of the need to produce large print editions—even on warped blocks—without aggravating repetitive strain injuries. By 2014, the design was refined and released to the public, quickly becoming the preferred baren for professional and hobbyist printmakers alike.
