Rollers & Brayers

Choosing your roller or brayer is dependant on many things, including budget, but all of the rollers we have selected are made from natural or tough synthetic rubber and are suitable for use with both oil and water based printing inks. You may decide you want a softer roller for applying ink to uneven surfaces, or you would prefer a firmer roller for inking blocks and plates carrying fine detail lines that you don't want ink pushing into.

With regards to size, you will want to consider the dimensions of your work. Often a roller slightly wider than your block is advisable, and bear in mind that a wider diameter roller or brayer will carry more ink and require less rolling to cover your block.
