When to choose it

Choose the XL plate when a small hook leaves little room to support the full block or gives the brayer a short run. Its 14½ × 12½-inch outside size helps you plan bench space. Measure inside the lips if your block or roller is close to the limit.

The powder-coated metal plate serves as a stop while carving and a surface for rolling ink later. Check that the hook clears the table edge and that the plate sits flat. A separate tray may be useful when you want ink to stay set out while correcting the block.

Questions about this product

Does the advertised footprint give the exact rollout width?

It is the outside size. Leave space for the bent edges and measure the flat lane before matching a very wide roller.

What if my table has a deep front lip?

Check that the hooked end can engage it while the plate stays flat. A raised edge can prevent stable seating.

When is a dedicated tray more convenient?

Use a separate tray when you want to leave a color ready while the plate holds your block for carving.
