Disappointing Performance

After I put it to the test, the result was far from impressive .The plate couldn`t handle the detailed design I was hoping to create and the final print turned out patchy and inconsistent..

Pros
  • Pro: It is made from recyclable material.
Cons
  • Con: The printing quality is subpar and unreliable.

Amazing Results for my Block Printing!

As a fan of Arts and Crafts, I highly recommend this product! As a result of using this plate, I found that the fine details of my designs were crisp and clear, making them perfect for printing. The PET material is also sturdy, making it easy to cut and carve. However the only downside to this product is that it can be a bit on the pricier side compared to other printing plates, but the quality of the prints is worth it..

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting, even with repeated use.
Cons
  • Require special equipment and ink, making them less accessible to casual hobbyists or beginners.

For monotype lovers

I bought these for my college engraving class not knowing what to expect. I'm obviously no pro when it comes to this type of art, but from what I've tried with it so far, it works great. Excellent for monotype printing, these plates keep the ink applied to them moist, so you don't have to worry about the ink you apply drying out. It applies cleanly to the paper both on the press and by simply rolling the paper across the platen. I treated the surface of these panels like a canvas and painted…

Pros
  • HIGH QUALITY MOLDS - strong, easy to press and easy to clean
Cons
  • boring packaging
