What a great pickup and picture! What is that machine called and what year was it manufactured?

The wood is hardwood and the printing surface is heavily crazed from the chemicals used to create the print.

I love items like this...parts of "the process". What a neat artifact! Congrats! How much does something like this cost someone/retail?
