SPEEDBALL | Soft Brayer/Roller

from $52.00

The Speedball Soft Rubber Brayer is a versatile all-round roller for relief printmaking. Made from soft natural latex gum rubber with a precision-ground surface, it distributes ink smoothly and evenly, making it ideal for lino, woodcut, letterpress and other relief printing techniques.

The durable steel frame and comfortable ergonomic handle provide excellent control, while the soft rubber roller produces an even film of ink across both fine detail and larger printed areas.

Suitable for both oil-based and water-based relief inks, Speedball Soft Rubber Brayers are available in a range of sizes to suit everything from small blocks to larger inking areas.

Why we love it at The Armarie Room:

A reliable all-round brayer that lays down a beautiful, even film of ink. The soft rubber is particularly well suited to relief printing, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced printmakers.

Recommendations:

  • Suitable for both oil-based and water-based relief inks.

  • Clean thoroughly after use using the appropriate cleaner for your ink.

  • If the rubber surface becomes tacky after cleaning, lightly dust it with talcum powder before storing.

  • Store resting on its frame or hanging to avoid creating flat spots on the roller.

Options Available:

  • 2" (50 mm)

  • 3" (75 mm)

  • 4" (100 mm)

  • 6" (150 mm)
