59 x 50 isn't A3 (most are 50x 38). Even the Pressmech A2 is only 61 x 46.
For a good print quality you can only print up to 2-3cm of the edge of the platen, so you will need to get something in the region of 65x56cm.

Large presses are available, but cost from about £3k.

All of the quality brands make good 50/40 presses - Stahls, Adkins, Sefa, Knight etc.
Lots of people on the forum like the Pressmech A3 press (50/38).

There are plenty of unbranded/off brand A3 presses. Some are good, some not. It is pot luck as to how good the cheap ones are. If you are going down the cheaper route always buy from a recognised supplier who back up their products with aftersales.
