ready to roll
I had sent Lucy’s old squishy rollers to Ramco Rollers to be recovered. I was pretty excited when they finally arrived all nice and new, but when I performed my first ink test, I was a little panicked when I saw that not only did my plates get inked, but my entire Boxcar base did as well. Upon inspection, I noticed the diameter of the rollers were a lot larger than the trucks. I was preparing for a fairly large print run which was due asap, and I needed these rollers fixed, fast!
A quick call to Ramco convinced me to hop in a car and drag my family over to San Dimas, where we met the owners, Adrian and Jayne. Adrian was kind enough to show us around his shop. He even educated me on the process of creating rubber rollers and how he was going to shave mine down to the proper diameter, which he did while we waited. Adrian was even willing to shave down my blue synthetic rollers for Lieutenant Price. You can see the shavings as his machine meticulously grinded down the excess rubber. Soon after, we headed back to San Diego and I was ready to roll.
