The Essdee Professional Ink Roller 150mm is designed for precision and consistency. A high-quality tool tailored to the needs of printmakers and artists. Working with relief printing methods such as lino printing, woodcut, and block printing. At its core is a machine-ground EPDM rubber roller with a medium-hard density of 60 shore, engineered to deliver superior ink pickup and transfer.

The heavyweight construction, supported by a robust aluminum core and stable metal clamps, ensures long-lasting durability and stability, even under heavy use. A sturdy plastic handle with an integrated suspension slot enhances handling and storage convenience. The roller’s smooth, machine-ground surface allows for clean, sharp impressions with every use, making it a reliable choice for artists who require accuracy and control in their prints. Suitable for a wide range of traditional printmaking processes, this roller performs exceptionally well across various block sizes and intricate designs.
