    • Printmaking HotplatesHere is our range of Printmaking Hotplates, Our hotplates have a range from 0c to 120c and are very easy to use and set. They are easily cleaned and the smaller models are moveable so if you want to take your hotplate with you to workshops you can do. If you want a large Hotplate that you want as a static unit for your professional printmaking studio or workshop then you will find what you want here. All of our hotplates are made so that you can just plug them in and not worry about using up lots of power. They have feet that lift the hotplate up off the workbench and the flat surface of the hotplates are made of Aluminium so they are easily cleaned and don’t oxidise.

For single inkings with 1,2,3 or rainbow colours you can purchase any size roller and ink any size plate up even if the plate is larger than your roller. For inking plates up with colour you have extended, it is advisable to purchase a roller that is larger than your plate. When you are inking up the relief surface of an already inked intaglio plate you will only be able to go over the plate once which means the size of your roller will have to be larger than the plate you are printing. The smallest roller  is 4” Diameter x 10” length = a circumference of 12.56” Making the maximum plate size (for double inking) 10” x 12.56” The medium roller  is 5” Diameter…
