Essdee ink tray 240 × 200 mm

Purpose

This Essdee ink tray provides a flat surface for rolling out printing ink before inking a lino plate or other printing block. Its angled walls help keep materials inside the tray.

What is included

You receive one white rigid polypropylene ink tray, nominal model size 240 × 200 mm. The roller and coloured ink in the photograph illustrate its use and are not included.

Choosing and setting up

Choose a roller that moves comfortably across the flat part of the tray. Place it on a stable work surface and have paper ready for test prints. You can also use the tray for water-based paint, PVA glue or organising beads and buttons.

How to use it

Start with a small amount of printing ink and roll it into a thin, even layer. Ink the raised parts of your block and make a test print. Add ink gradually instead of starting with a thick layer.

Care

Remove water-based residues before they dry. A hanging slot helps with storage. The tray supports ink preparation; it does not replace a roller or printing block.
