When to choose it
Choose the six-inch face when a four-inch roller leaves too many overlapping lanes on a broader print. It is useful for a wide band or a card-size image that is mostly inked. Check the uninterrupted flat width of your inking plate before choosing it.
The roller uses 40/42 natural latex gum rubber in a steel frame. It shares its rubber hardness with the smaller Deluxe soft models. Choose a shorter face if your work usually consists of narrow color zones or your tray cannot load a six-inch roller.

Questions about this product
Will this fit a plate labeled six inches wide?
Check the flat interior and frame clearance. The measurement describes the roller face only.
Is the six-inch tool firmer than the four-inch Deluxe soft?
The catalog gives the same 40/42 hardness for the soft series. The size changes coverage per pass.
When does the four-inch roller still make sense?
Choose four inches for a smaller tray or a design with narrow sections where a broad roller is awkward.
