Replacement roller for Brayer?

I have a Poco 0 Proof press and I am trying to assemble the stuff I need to print with it… I have an 8” heavy duty brayer that I got with the press but the roller is shot… are there replacement rollers available for the heavy duty aluminum brayers or should I just spend the $75 and get a new one? TIA!

I’ve had Advanced Roller recover them for me, they do good work. You can just send them the old brayer assembled. http://www.printing-press-rollers.com/

The rollers are so good in fact, that in the past, I’ve sent them the new $75 brayer from American Printing Equipment and had the pink rubber roller on them replaced with their solid blue roller. The new ones I ordered from APE had wood cores and minor pitting in the pink rubber they were covered with. The wood cores made them roll unevenly. The ones I got back from Advanced Roller were more solid and had better finish.

FWIW,

Give them a call…
