Excellent quality lino block

This stunning lino block (especially at this price!) comes with minimal signs of use. It has an excellent quality - a very hard surface that offers good control when cutting. Holds ink well and prints great!

Pros
  • Relief and block printing materials
Cons
  • I will add later

Spiky burlap on the back and a strong chemical smell

I can't work with this at all. The burlap-like material scratches and shatters just by touching it. It also has a strong chemical odor (VOC?). Tried to ventilate the garage. That does not work. I had to send them back.

Pros
  • Engraving
Cons
  • Fading

The best linoleum

This is my favorite linoleum for cutting. It didn't seem brittle to me at all, as some say. It's rigid enough to make fine detail and clean lines easy. I love that it has no support other than burlap. I recommend letting it dry after washing off the paint and then storing it under heavy books to keep it flat as it will warp over time.

Pros
  • Printing linoleum
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
