High-quality linoleum roller with a sturdy handle. Thanks to its solid rubber, the roller is ideal for rolling out printing ink for linocuts, etc. Roll thick printing ink into an empty paint tray until it forms a thin, even layer. Then roll the ink onto a carved linoleum or rubber printing block. Roll back and forth in different directions, from one edge of the printing block to the other. Place the paper to be printed on the printing block and then place a piece of paper or cardboard over it for protection. If you don't have a graphic press, you can use the roller as a good alternative for smaller images. Roll back and forth with the linoleum roller on top of the protective paper, changing direction and rolling from one edge of the printing block underneath to the other until the ink is evenly distributed. Remove the protective paper, take the printed paper off the printing block, and let it dry. Clean the roller in lukewarm water and dry it with a paper towel or a tea towel. The advantage of using a solid rubber roller instead of a foam paint roller is that the slightly sticky printing ink deposits in a thick, even layer on the roller, whereas a foam roller only absorbs some of the ink. Therefore, if you want an even and perfectly printed image, we recommend using a solid rubber roller.
