When to choose it
The hard synthetic rubber gives this roller a firmer face than the soft four-inch Deluxe model. Choose it when you want that firmer contact on a flat setup, and use a proof print to see how the roller, ink and block work together before running an edition.
Speedball's current specification is 72 durometer, while the merchant title states 80. Confirm the current package if your setup requires an exact hardness. Four inches measures the roller face. A block wider than the roller will need overlapping passes. If your priority is removing the roller for cleaning or swapping materials in the same handle, consider the hard Pop-In model instead.

Questions about this product
Is the four-inch dimension the overall tool length?
It is the working width of the roller. Compare that width with the inkable design and the usable width of the plate.
Does a higher durometer mean I should press harder?
The number measures rubber hardness. Begin with a light proof and adjust ink or pressure after seeing what transfers.
When would I choose the hard Pop-In instead?
Choose the Pop-In if you want a removable roller or already use compatible Speedball Pop-In rollers. Choose the Deluxe for the steel frame.
