Lawrence : Artists : Replacement Roll : Rubber : 50mm x 20cm

Lawrence Artist Quality Rollers are instantly recognisable around the world. Assembled in the UK using high quality UK manufactured components, with handles that have not changed in design for generations. The distinctive emerald green durethene and the full thickness rubber add softness and weight to make inking up easy. With care, these rollers will last you a very long time and the wood and metal parts are durable and recyclable.

Lawrence Artist Quality Roller frames are made from brass, a corrosion-resistant material, and designed with an integral stand when inverted during use. The turned beech wood handles, which are comfortable to hold, also have a small depression in the end to facilitate a screw eye or hook for hanging up.

Durathene is a special type of durable polyurethane that is less prone to degradation. It has an ultra-smooth surface and is nice and soft at 25-30 shore. The traditional soft rubber rollers have a full thickness coating of rubber making them soft at 30 shore. Both types of material are perfect for relief printing techniques. The softness and weight combination assists with inking up and capturing the smallest of details.

Both materials are available in two diameters 50mm and 64mm and a large choice of lengths, with the largest roller, 64mm x 45cm having two handles due to its weight. The total inking areas can be calculated, for the 50mm diameter your inking area will be 15.5cm x roller width and for the 64mm diameter your inking area will be 20cm x roller width.

Replacement Rollers are available for the Artist Quality Durathene and the Artist Quality Rubber roller frames.
