What is the difference between a brayer and a roller?
1 Answer

The difference between a brayer and a roller comes down to size and design. A brayer is generally smaller than a roller. Handle designs also differ, with rollers featuring integrated handles that extend along the full width of the rolling area and brayers being equipped with separate handles. Both types of tools are useful for spreading ink during printmaking. Shop a wide variety of art prints on 1stDibs.
