When to choose it

Choose the 100 mm roller for a card image or broad section that would need several passes from a 50 mm tool. Both are in Essdee's soft EPDM range. The bigger working face changes how much inkable area you can cover per pass.

Essdee lists 40 Shore EPDM for this blue-handled model. Compare it with the natural-latex Speedball four-inch roller if material matters. Leave clearance for the handle frame and room to roll in the plate.

Questions about this product

Which dimension should I use to size my inking lane?

Use 100 mm for the working face. Add room for the frame and a few rollout passes.

How does this differ from the smaller Essdee roller?

It has twice the working width at the same stated 40 Shore rubber hardness. The 50 mm tool is easier to load in a narrow tray.

Can I identify the material without relying on color?

The maker documents EPDM for model R4S. Check the model because handle color alone does not define roller material.
