The Bench Hook + Inking Plate by Speedball is a practical dual-purpose tool for relief printmaking. It combines carving support and ink rolling functionality in one durable metal surface, making it especially useful in compact studios, classrooms, and shared workspaces.
Its built-in lip is designed to fit over the edge of a desk or table, helping hold linoleum or wood blocks in place while carving. This improves stability and control during the carving process.
The flat plate surface is also intended for rolling out ink before applying it to a block or plate and the powder-finish painted surface is easy to clean after use.
