Lino Roller - 150mm

The Lino Roller - 15 cm is an essential tool for printmaking, designed with a durable hard rubber roller and a heavy-duty plastic handle for long-lasting classroom or studio use. This high-quality roller is ideal for evenly distributing block printing ink across linoleum sheets during relief printing activities. Measuring 150mm wide, it provides ample coverage for both small and large-scale lino prints, making it a valuable addition to any printmaking toolkit.

Lino printing, or lino cutting, is a classic printmaking technique used widely in Visual Arts curriculums to teach students about relief art processes. By rolling ink over carved linoleum and pressing paper or fabric on top, students can produce repeatable prints that highlight their carved designs. This roller ensures a smooth and controlled application of ink, which is crucial for achieving clean and consistent prints. Whether used in classroom learning or personal art projects, the Lino Roller helps bring creative ideas to life with precision and ease.
