Compatibility and working details
- Working width
- 2½ in
- Rubber
- Natural latex gum
- Hardness
- 40/42 durometer
When to choose it
Choose the 2½-inch working face when a small label or border is too broad for the 1½-inch roller but a three-inch face is hard to fit in the inking lane. Measure the part of the design that carries ink and compare it with the space inside your tray.
Speedball pairs 40/42 natural latex gum rubber with a steel frame across this soft range. Decide by the width here. A narrower roller is useful for a separate color zone, while a wider roller takes fewer passes across a continuous image.

Questions about this product
Will this fit a 2½-inch-wide inking tray?
Allow clearance for the frame and room to roll. The listed measurement is the contact face, not the outside width.
Can I use it for an accent beside a larger color area?
Use a small roller for the accent if you can keep the ink from reaching adjacent raised areas. Prove the layout first.
Why choose it over the 1½-inch version?
It covers an extra inch per pass at the same stated softness. Check whether the print or tray benefits from that added width.
