The Marble Print Bar – A Drying Rack for Linocut & Relief Prints
$158.00
The Marble Print Bar
Running out of table space mid-edition? This bar hangs from your ceiling and holds 17 freshly printed linocuts or woodcuts in open air. Glass marbles gently wedge each print in place.
No clips. No pressure points. Just a clean, dry print when you come back to it.
How it works:
Slide a freshly printed sheet between the marble and the wood. The marble holds it upright while it dries, then lifts out clean, no marks left behind. Three pre-installed eye hooks (two ends, one center) keep weight evenly distributed.
What you get:
Solid wood bar, 36" long x 1.5" wide x 1.8" tall
Hand-finished with water-based matte varnish
17 glass marbles in your choice of color: white, green, black, clear, blue (message me before ordering for other color availability)
Three pre-installed eye hooks
Choice of hard maple or walnut
Holds 17 prints
You'll supply your own rope and ceiling hardware to fit your space.
Built to grow with your practice:
One bar covers a small studio run. Two gives you room for regular edition work. Three handles a full edition with space to spare.
Single Bar (17 prints) — $158
Studio Pair (34 prints) — $298 (save $18)
Edition System (51 prints) — $449 (save $25)
Bars can hang level or staggered. Adding a second or third bar later is simple.
A note on paper:
This bar is built for freshly printed sheets and prints between color layers, not soaking-wet paper. Fully saturated paper can mark where it touches the marble.
Processing time is two weeks. You'll get a shipping notice once it's on its way

Frequently asked questions
What size prints does this hold?
The Marble Print Bar works with any paper thickness, from thin Japanese tissue to heavy cotton rag. Print width isn't constrained by the bar itself, though very wide sheets may bow slightly while hanging. Each print is held at a single point by one marble.
Can I choose my marble color?
Yes. At checkout you can select from the available colors listed above. For something different, send a message before ordering and I'll confirm availability.
How do I hang it?
The Marble Print Bar comes with three eye hooks already installed. You'll supply your own rope and ceiling hardware to suit your space.
Can I add more bars later?
Yes. Each bar is sold individually or as a two or three bar bundle. If you start with one and want to expand, additional bars can be ordered anytime.
How long until it ships?
Production time is two weeks. You'll get a shipping notification as soon as it's on its way.
Can I hang wet paper?
This bar is designed for freshly printed linocuts and woodcuts with wet ink, and for holding prints between color layers. It's not suitable for soaking-wet paper. The marble contact point can mark paper that's saturated with water.
How it's Made
Every Marble Print Bar is designed and made in my studio in Columbus, Ohio.

Wonderfully built and wonderful to look at! I am over the moon in love with these racks!!! It’s a unique opportunity when something so functional is also beautiful.
These hold all my different size brayers perfectly on my IKEA Skadis pegboard! I typed using some of the hooks that came from IKEA, but they didn’t quite do the job that these do!
Extremely fast shipping. High quality. Most importantly, perfect tool for registering prints. I used it with ease and it made the whole process a hundred times easier. 10/10
Pieces snapped perfectly into place and are very secure. They fit speedball brayers perfectly, as well as other brayers with narrow necks. The sloped back of the holders makes slipping the brayers on easy/acts as a guild if you are working at an angle.
FANTASTIC little organizers!! really sturdy and nice :) the seller is phenomenal too with absolutely wonderful customer service. i cant reccommend these highly enough they solved a problem i didnt know i had! i was also able to just mount with command strips and they stay up fine :) thank you!!
I am so excited to begin printing with the jig! It is well made, it arrived promptly, and it was carefully packaged. I appreciate the handwritten note included. It made my day! Happy Printmaking! :)
My second order of this handy registration jig, very handy to have two. Graham is always prompt and helpful, he made this one so angle is on the right side at my request. Thanks!
I like this jig because the thickness is a perfect match for lino and feels secure. I tape it in place and create a 3 layer of masking tape for paper placement. It's nice sturdy material, so much nicer than my homemade foam core jig. Recommended!
