This tool is the choice for the artisan printmaker with good recovery to indentation, and resistance to common printing chemicals.  3 inch wide (75mm). Made from a hand-ground concentric EPDM rubber surface, which means it is flexible yet resistant to weathering. The handle, once turned over, doubles as a stand for cleaner working.
