Roller re-covering in the UK?
Hi there, I’ve just fulfilled a long-time dream and purchased a little press, it’s an Adana Five Three; it’s in beautiful condition as we’re the oodles of accessories that came with it.
The ink rollers however are old and gooey - I was wondering if anyone out there knows if it’s possible to get rollers re-covered in the UK? Or would I be better off just buying a new set?
At the mo I’m hand-inking as I want to get my prop card sent in asap!
This site is excellent, there so much useful info here!
Hello,
you can get good rollers for your adana on ebay for about 30 quid, i’m not sure about getting them re-covered I always assumed that was for larger presses with bigger rollers. I had some from ebay and they worked perfectly in my 8x5 with wood and lead type.
Aha! Thanks for your advice. I had seen the ones on ebay - my next question would have been are they ‘proper’ ones, so you’ve answered that too! Much obliged!
