The Spin Band Telegraph Avenue, Oakland — Anilox Edition

The instrument

The durometer is honest against a known roll, not against a thumbnail.

Every open day Jiro zeros the meter on a sample anilox we keep in the bay. If the zero drifted, the web stays shut.

A thumbnail is a caption. A known roll is a number. Remaining tack is written heel and toe separate, because Oakland wind does not wear a face evenly. We will not show you a cartoon groove. If you need a cartoon groove, Rockridge still sells those.
