The Daler-Rowney Adigraf Large Block Print Roller is an essential tool designed for lino artists and professional printmakers who require precise, even ink distribution across their plates. It offers a superior grip and durable build quality that ensures professional-grade results in every print, though users should note that the large size is best suited for medium-to-large scale projects rather than intricate, small-detail work.

Yes, it is perfectly compatible with both water-based and oil-based block printing inks.
It is best stored by hanging it or resting it on its handle to ensure the rubberized roller surface does not develop flat spots.
While designed primarily for lino printing, its smooth surface makes it suitable for various relief printing applications.
The total unit size is 23 x 16 x 2.5cm, with the roller width specifically designed for large-scale coverage.
Avoid submerging the wooden handle in liquid cleaners; simply wipe it down with a damp cloth if ink gets on the wood.
Clean the roller surface thoroughly to remove dried ink residue and ensure the ink viscosity is correct for your specific lino medium.
Check the central spindle and ensure the screws are tightened; avoid using excessive sideways force during application.
Ensure the roller is correctly charged with ink on a glass or acrylic slab before applying to the lino; do not press too hard while rolling.
To ensure optimal longevity, avoid leaving the roller sitting in water or solvents, as this may degrade the handle or the roller material. After use, clean the roller surface immediately using a mild detergent or a dedicated printmaking cleaner suited for your specific ink (oil-based or water-based). Ensure the roller is completely dry before storing it upright or hanging it to prevent flattening on one side. This roller is fully compatible with all Daler-Rowney Adigraf lino plates and performs reliably with standard block printing inks.
