Essdee Ink Rollers (or Brayers) are known worldwide and come in a variety of sizes and specifications to suit your project. Hard rubber rollers are the de facto standard for Lino printing, but softer rubber rollers can be more forgiving and easier to use. We also manufacture professional standard rollers, rollers for block printing onto fabric, as well as sponge rollers and aluminium craft rollers. If you are block printing we have a roller to suit your needs!

A variety of sizes are available from 50mm to 300mm.

Essdee Art Print Linoleum is a traditional hessian-backed Lino made specifically for printmaking. Linoleum is the definitive carving material and made using natural ingredients such as linseed oil and wood flour.

Essdee also produce Lino alternatives, such as our SoftCut and MasterCut, which are even easier materials to carve.

Essdee’s block printing products offer a solution which accommodates both the serious artist and beginner.

Sizes from 75x75mm to 915x5000mm

This comprehensive kit includes a wide selection of tools and materials for Lino cutting and printing. You can experiment with artisan printing techniques and compare traditional lino and the new Softcut materials, which add new possibilities for beginners and experienced users alike. The 6 different lino cutters allow varied carving styles, whilst the safety cutter and hand guard ensure safe working for younger or less experienced users.

The 3-in-1 Baren is a tool for transferring ink from your lino block to paper, but can also be used as a desk tidy for your cutters and as a stamping tool when used with the included self-adhesive Softcut™ discs. You can make many prints with the water based ink whilst keeping your work space clean with the handy ink tray. This educational and fun kit is ideal for making unique greeting cards, gifts, posters or even great works of art! Full instructions are included. Recommended Age: 10 and up with adult supervision.
