Unrivaled Craftsmanship: The Arc Editions 12-inch Leather Roller
The Arc Editions 12-inch Leather Roller is not merely an inking tool; it is a masterpiece of engineering for the serious lithographer. Every Arc Editions roller is made from scratch using a time-honored process that ensures unmatched durability and performance on both lithographic stones and ball-grained aluminum plates.
Engineered for Stability and Longevity Arc Editions rollers are built to withstand the rigors of a professional studio environment. Their unique construction addresses the most common failures found in lesser rollers:
-
4-Part Solid Wood Core: Unlike single-piece cores that can bow or crack, this specialized core is designed to prevent warping, ensuring a perfectly level inking surface for years to come.
-
Premium Material Layers: Each roller utilizes high-quality leather, industrial-grade felt, and high-tensile thread to create a responsive, cushioned surface that achieves superior ink-to-water balance.
-
Hand-Stitched Durability: The seam is meticulously hand-stitched to ensure a long life and a seamless roll-up, preventing the "ghosting lines" often caused by machine-stitched alternatives.
Custom Handle Options: Tradition Meets Personalization While a traditional Maple handle is standard, we understand that a master printer’s tools should feel personal. Arc Editions offers a variety of unique handles to fit your aesthetic.
At a small additional cost, your roller can be outfitted with custom hardwoods (subject to availability), including:
-
Standard: Premium Maple (Classic, durable, and balanced)
-
Custom Upgrades: Cherry, Mahogany, Padouk, Purple Heart, Cocobolo, or Walnut.
