Re: INK BALL used for Shakespeare's First Folio



She might take a look at Moxon. Plate 7 depicts the brayer (in this context "brayer" refers to ink-ball) and ink-slice, with a description in section 11. (The 1958 Oxford edition is pp. 64-66.) The date is about sixty years after the printing of the first folio.

I believe there's a Dover edition available. (Joseph Moxon, Mechanick Exercises on the Whole Art of Printing.)
