This sturdy, solid steel plate doubles as a bench hook and an inking plate — two essential tools for relief printmaking. The seamless, S-shaped design hooks over the edge of your work table, providing a sturdy surface for cutting linoleum and rolling out ink. Powder-coated and super smooth, the Speedball Inking Plate + Bench Hook offers an excellent ink rollout with less effort than plastic inking plates. The curved section at the top prevents ink from getting onto your work surface. As a bench hook, this unbreakable steel tool is a great way to protect your fingers and your table. With mounted lino, you can push the block against the top edge while carving, keeping your hands behind the blade where they belong. There's a screw hole to permanently attach your bench hook for extra stability, or you can simply use any small clamp (not included) to temporarily hold it in place. 9" x 7". Made in the United States.
