The Problem

Ink tubes buried in drawers. Digging for the right color while your block is already inked. Tubes rolling off your bench or getting lost behind other supplies.

I wanted my inks organized and visible, so I designed this wall-mounted rack. It keeps tubes within easy reach and lets you see what you have at a glance.

How It Works:

The rack cradles up to 4 ink tubes beneath the cap, holding them upright and secure. Mount it to your wall, pegboard, or IKEA SKADIS system. Tubes stay organized, visible, and ready when you need them.

Pricing:

- Single Rack (holds 4 tubes): $7

- Studio Set (2 racks, holds 8 tubes): $13 (Save $1)

- Ink Set (3 racks, holds 12 tubes): $18 (Save $3)

- Full Studio Set (5 racks, holds 20 tubes): $28 (Save $7)

Flat rate shipping: $6 (same price whether you order one or five)

Processing time: Up to 10 business days before shipping

What You Get:

- 3D printed ink tube rack in durable PLA plastic

- Ships fully assembled, ready to install

- Holds 4 tubes per rack

- Choice of three mounting options:

- Screw mount (works with Command strips too)

- IKEA SKADIS pegboard compatible

- Standard pegboard (1" × 1" hole spacing)

- Printed in white (other colors available, see below)

Dimensions:

- 7.25" wide × 1.25" tall × 1.25" deep from wall

Ink tubes not included

Best For:

Works with most standard printmaking ink tubes. The rack cradles tubes beneath the cap, so it fits tubes with different cap sizes. Compatible with oil-based and water-based printmaking inks from brands like Speedball, Gamblin, Caligo, and similar.

If you use a lot of ink colors or want to organize by type (relief inks, oil-based, water-based), grab multiple racks and group them however makes sense for your workflow.

Why Multiple Racks Make Sense:

Most printmakers own more than four tubes of ink. I use five racks in my studio to keep everything organized and within easy reach.

Flat rate shipping means buying multiple racks costs the same as buying one. If you have 12 tubes, grab the Ink Set and you're covered.

Color Options:

Default color: White

Other colors available: Color inventory changes, but if you want something other than white, leave a note at checkout and I'll let you know what's in stock. No extra charge for different colors.

Installation:

Screw mount: Set the rack where you want it, mark the screw holes, drill pilot holes if needed, and screw it in. You can also use a Command strip on the back if you don't want to drill into your wall.

SKADIS pegboard: Slide the mounting tabs into the pegboard holes. That's it.

Standard pegboard: Hook it onto your pegboard like any other pegboard accessory. Fits standard 1" × 1" hole spacing.

Custom Options:

Need a different size, color, or mounting style? Send me a message before ordering. I'm happy to work with you on custom variations.
