Hi nice people,

About a half year ago I bought my little Korex (cylinder press) and the seller gave me as a present two rollers that I dont know how I can use them. I was trying to use for making colour tests but its too narrow I think.
Maybe you have some Ideas about them? :)

Thanks in advance
Best,
Viktorija

Those are Bacher line rollers (at least the smaller one is a Bacher). They are for inking individual lines of type or rule, allowing multiple colors in a single pull.
The set came with four or five widths of roller that could be fitted into the handle.

Bacher sold them in a nice wooden box, one handle and four rollers, ideal for inking 1, 2 or more lines in a different colour.
