<p>Admin: The ink roller is a cylinder made of hard felt.</p> <hr /> <div>Blickensderfer machines use ink rollers rather than a ribbon. For the Blick No. 6, the dimensions are approximately 8mm (1/4 inch) diameter and 1cm (3/8 inch) long. <br /> The originals are getting difficult to find, but you can make your own. <br /> <br /> What it takes:<br /> # dense wool felt<br /> # A sharp craft knife<br /> # a small metal skewer or thick needle to punch a hole<br /> <br /> Use your knife to carve a small cylinder into shape. Go slowly and have patience. Dense wool is hard to cut in a round shape. The roller can be slightly smaller that optimal, but larger will cause it to either not spin or to rub on your paper. Ideally, you want a perfect cylinder. If the pad is thinner in the middle your ink will not be applied well. <br /> <br /> Tips: Start with a wool polishing bob and cut it to size. You'll already have the basic shape, the right wool, and hole most of the way through. <br /> <br /> You can use stamp ink - pigment or anything water based is fine. <br /> You can also make your own ink by mixing liquid watercolours or fountain pen ink with glycerine. <br /> <br /> Do not use solvent based inks. They will break down the cylinder. <br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Blick No 6 Ink Roller.jpg|thumb|Handmade Blick Ink Roller]]</div>
