In June 1953, the Adana Eight-Five was unveiled costing £16.80. There have been a total of three variants—
- A two-part frame with each roller on an individual spring-loaded arm
- A two-part frame with rollers held on a single, sprung T-arm
- A frame in one part with the single, sprung T-arm
In addition there has been a hot foil version of the machine. The British Printing Society reports that this machine is the most popular among their membership.
