Soft rubber brayers are a staple for printmakers and artists alike. With a lower durometer, they provide a gentler touch, ideal for evenly distributing ink or paint on printing blocks and gel plates. This even application is crucial for achieving consistent, high-quality prints in block printing, relief techniques, and other creative projects.
To use a brayer, simply apply a small amount of ink or paint onto a flat surface, then roll the brayer through it to coat the roller evenly. Roll the inked brayer over your printing plate, applying uniform pressure for full coverage. For best results, press the paper or fabric onto the plate with a baren or similar tool, and carefully lift to reveal a beautiful, precise print.
Perfect for use with gel printing plates, brayers ensure smooth ink transfer, making them a must-have tool for vibrant, unique prints.
