What this tool is for

Each tool combines an 8-inch flexible stainless blade with a 4-inch wooden handle. The long blade is useful for reaching into a deeper ink container and moving an ink bead onto the screen. Choose the four-pack if you frequently use several colors at the same station or want a clean tool ready while another is in use.

Fit and buying advice

The length in the title describes the entire tool. Check how much steel can reach past the container rim, and compare the width of the opening before buying. For small ink pots where reach is less important, a narrow plastic tool is worth comparing.

Questions about this tool

What is the difference between this blade and a coater lip?

The spatula transfers and recovers ink. A scoop coater has a trough and a working lip for laying down emulsion.

Why keep multiple blades in use at once?

Assigning one blade to each open ink helps avoid carrying residue from one container to another.

How should I choose a cleaning method?

Follow the ink maker’s cleanup instructions. The blade is stainless steel and the handle is wood, so check compatibility with the whole tool.
