Thanks for your teaching. Big hug , from Fortaleza Brazil
Great run through the equipment video Laura! I have one of the ball bearing barens,. It was frightfully expensive!! .....but it works SO well on my larger wood blocks with a medium weight paper. I bought it because I couldn't use my etching press successfully for the larger blocks and it has paid it's worth back several times. TFS!!
Hi. thank you both. helps no end. I was doing the baren then the spoon, and wasn't sure. Now I am.
Thanks Laura, a comprehensive description of the tools on offer. An informative demo on the cross section of the options available.
Thanks Laura. That information helps a lot (-: Marion
I have looked for essdee rollers and one blue roller is for textiles. it shall be very soft and takes up the ink very well. so the discreption is saying.
Just avoid the ones that have a very soft foam surfaces 🙂
Another very helpful video, thanks. I am very new to linocut printing - I’ve not even got to the inking stage yet - but I’m curious to know why a hard roller is not used to impress, instead of a baren or spoon or whatever else.
I find a roller very inefficient for that job - hand printing is all about controlling pressure - I have made a video on here on this very subject czcams.com/video/h5SBkTkYMBs/video.html
@@LauraBoswellPrintmaker Thank you.
Hi Laura, I have two black rubber Hawthorn rollers and like them a lot. I’d like the 2” one they do but it looks different (I think that’s the blue rubber larger diameter one you have there) and I don’t know how it compares to the black ones. Would you have any idea? Thanks, Zandra 😊
Hi. No sorry, not tried that one
Hi Laura. I'm really enjoying the new series. I've a quick question about the softest EssDee roller. I'm assuming that, although they sent it to you with a blue handle, it is the same as the orange handled 25 shore ones Jackson's now have listed (though not in stock at the moment). Have you an opinion yet on whether you would recommend it to a new student in preference or in addition to the 'regular' blue-handled 40 shore ones?
Hi Jenny - I think it might be - it's certainly much softer - almost foamy. I am going to do some proofing today so I'll have a play with it and let you know
Hi Jenny - I have just tried the softer roller, works well, but you do need to clean it REALLY well, it’s 40 shore.
@@LauraBoswellPrintmaker - that's confusing as the standard blue Essdee rollers are 40 shore, according to both Handprinted and Jackson's. I see the orange-handled ones no longer show up when searching for rollers at Jackson's, but the link from my wishlist still works:

I've just had a look at Handprinted's rollers page. Could this be what EssDee sent you, rather than the ones I linked to in my previous comment? That would explain the blue handle.

Why in the world wouldn't you include links on where to buy these right here on CZcams? without having to go to your website? EVERY other person that makes CZcams videos with resources includes the links.
