## Description

The Speedball Block Printing Baren is ideal for hand printing and proofing of block prints. This premium hand baren measures 4 inches in diameter and is made of heavy-duty plastic that is padded with foam and polyethylene. This creates an ultra-smooth slide. Using a printmaking baren is much more efficient than using your hands. It evenly distributes pressure creating a better ink image. The baren for block printing has a smooth, wooden handle. The handle is super comfortable and the perfect size for everyone. The baren is very easy to clean when you’re done with your project. The Speedball Block Printing Baren is proudly made in the USA!

Review: Buen producto, cumple su función cuando se sabe usar correctamente. Aún así, siempre vale la pena tener una cuchara de madera a mano si se necesita algún retoque. El baren funciona muy bien pero es importante recordar que está pensado para papeles de poco gramaje, a mayor gramaje más difícil será estampar con él.
Review: I use this baren for all my gel plate prints and works just fine. It has a great ergonomic design with a sturdy wooden handle. Slides easily over the print paper, assuring a tight grip of paint between the gel tablet and the printing paper. You can do the same with a bottle or some other object. It's not a must that you should have this barten but it provides great facility and control when smoothing the paper. If you print daily, I'm sure you'll appreciate the ergonomic comfort it provides. It is a bit on the pricey side. It's not cheap. But it is well constructed and should last longer than its cheaper and mostly plastic alternatives.
