🖼️ Speedball 4314 Linoleum Block 9x12 - Smokey Tan: A Versatile Printmaking Essential - Product Code 410862 Review

Get these, not the disassembled ones and not the ones without the speedball. I've been a Linore tailor since 2004 and have done it a lot. Believe me. Don't try these unassembled ones. First, the image is not transmitted. Second, they are too easy to carve (many mistakes). Third, when printed, they bend into your paper, causing any cut out areas to show their ugly lines. I tried them, but after all the effort of designing and cutting, the material was so flexible that the cut pieces squeezed…

This was my first experience with block printing, but I found everything went surprisingly smoothly. The block is cut cleanly, without breaks and cracks. Printing went smoothly and subsequent block cleaning was a simple task. I used it with the Speedball (3570) Fabric Ink and was very happy with the results. I bought two and will use the extra block for my next design. If I print more in the future I will without a doubt buy these blocks again.

I used this lino on a speedball for a linocut workshop. With no experience, I was able to cut and get a print I'm happy with (for the first time). The linoleum was tough but not too difficult to cut. I used Saral wax-free blue transfer paper to transfer the image to the pad, then traced the blue outlines with a fine Sharpie marker. bench hook. It's not the best price you can find but I needed the linoleum fast and Prime got it to me asap.
