Pretty much the same as linoleum

This was much, much tougher than the speedball linoleum blocks I usually buy at my local hobby store. (I ordered this one because I was too busy to pick it up). It was so hard I just got another one in the mail.

Pros
  • Print
Cons
  • Obsolete

The cars are terrible, they have veins that go by.

Another disappointing product from Speedball. The machines are terrible, she has veins that peel behind the cut making the drawings look amateurish. After 3 days of printing with this block it is already hard and has lost its "recoil" and the blocks I have had for 7 years are still pliable and soft. Terrible product.

Pros
  • Relief and Block Materials
Cons
  • Damaged

Very difficult to cut, hand slipped all the time, no fun.

Very difficult to carve, I could only use the thinnest tip of my Speedball Carver pen. I would definitely not buy this again. 😫. Also, I ended up banging my finger when my hand slipped and was bleeding everywhere. I was very dissatisfied at this point and just threw the whole piece away. The burlap on the back made a huge mess too. Epic failure all around.

Pros
  • Printing on linoleum
Cons
  • Short instructions
