Review on Complete Speedball Block Printing Starter Kit – Inclusive of Ink, Brayer, Lino Handle and Cutters, Speedy-Carve by Kristen Simpson

This is all you need to get started with linocut without a big investment. Just wanted to see if it was a hobby that I enjoyed and thought it was worth a try for the price. I was able to make 4 linocuts from the one sheet of linoleum that came with it and try different techniques. As they say, this won't be your "eternal set" of tools. This enough to feel safe and think about it, Invest in more durable and practical tools. However, this kit did the job for what I bought it for; to give me a chance to try a new skill with low risk. Note: Blades dull quickly, which is not surprising given their cost and the nature of the material they cut. To extend the life of this entry-level tool, I would recommend purchasing a blade sharpening kit.
