Choosing inking trays, plates and block stops

Identify the job of the surface

A tray or plate gives space to roll out ink. A bench hook can also support the block if its lips and the worktop fit the intended setup. Verify the product's actual construction.

Compare working area with roller width

Leave enough flat area to roll the ink without touching the raised edges. Check the usable surface separately from the outside dimensions of the plate.

Department questions

Can I reuse the same plate for carving and rolling ink?

Check the maker's intended use and setup for both jobs. Clean the surface as directed before switching between them.

Can a tray hold the block still while I carve?

A dedicated tray is for rolling ink. Choose a hook or stop sized for your block if you need to resist the forward cut.

What if I proof and carve at the same time?

A separate dry stop and inking tray make it easier to return to cutting while the ink remains ready.
