When to choose it
Use the Essdee IT1 to roll a small charge of ink before it reaches the block. Keeping a separate tray can help if you carve, proof and return to carving at the same station. Your bench hook can stay dry and in position while the tray holds the current color.
Essdee lists 240 × 200 mm for the tray, about 9.45 × 7.87 inches. Compare the roller with the usable floor inside the rim and leave room to roll it forward and back. Choose a bench hook instead if your immediate need is to brace a block.

Questions about this product
Will the listed dimensions match the flat inkable area?
Use them as a footprint. The inside floor is smaller because of the rim, so leave a margin when comparing roller widths.
What changes compared with the two-purpose bench hook?
A separate tray lets you keep ink ready while using a separate stop to hold the block for carving.
Can I prepare two colors in one tray?
Keep enough space between them to avoid loading both onto the same roller. Separate trays are simpler when you need to return to each color repeatedly.
