Description
Lyons – Roulette One Row 85 is a fine line roulette wheel, with a curved shaft that etches a single dotted line. The gauge has 85 dots per inch (DPI), which produces fine lines.
This roulette wheel has a 6mm diameter drum that is 4.5mm wide.
The line roulette wheel is used in intaglio printmaking to create areas of tonality on your metal place. This is achieved by carefully rolling the tool in different directions over your zinc or copper plate, layering lines to create areas that will hold ink.
