# Presses

There are 5 different presses used in the <ItemLink id="inscriber" />.

<Row>
  <ItemImage id="silicon_press" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="logic_processor_press" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="calculation_processor_press" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="engineering_processor_press" scale="4" />
</Row>

<ItemImage id="name_press" scale="4" />

## Processor Presses

The Silicon, Logic, Calculation, and Engineering presses are used in the production of [processors](processors.md).
These 4 presses are obtained by breaking a <ItemLink id="mysterious_cube" /> in a [meteorite](../ae2-mechanics/meteorites.md).
They can also be duplicated in an <ItemLink id="inscriber" />.

## Name Press

The Name Press can be used in an inscriber to name items, similar to an anvil.

To craft, right click the <ItemLink id="certus_quartz_cutting_knife" /> or <ItemLink id="nether_quartz_cutting_knife" />
and insert an ingot of metal, you will then have to type the name you
wish to write onto the plate then simply extract the finished plate. You can use one or two plates at a time in the inscriber,
if you use two plates, it will print the name using the combination of both names, top slot, then bottom slot.
