Great product but first SAND!

Very easy to use, a little stiffer than pink speed blocks, it was much easier to add detail and keep straight lines. Be sure to sand the side you want to cut out before use, this will help absorb the ink. Mine worked fine. I just used a small block of sandpaper from a dollar tree.

Pros
  • CUSTOMIZE - - Create your own stamps or print in any style
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

1) Doesn't work with graphite transfer paper, 2) Uneven surface

Another customer mentioned this too, wish I'd read this review before buying - those things will not work with graphite transfer paper so you will need to find another way to transfer your design if considering purchasing. In any case, the surface is also unstable - one side is rougher than the other. the other and the smoother sides still have some small pockmarks and mismatches that make the prints imperfect after inking. I'll keep them for practice as it's not worth sending back.

Pros
  • ENOUGH SPACE - Can be cut into various sizes of rubber sheets
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Excellent material

I love this linocut medium more than any other. It is lighter than traditional battleship gray and stays flat without ever curling like an unmounted battleship battleship. Easy to clean. Great crisp prints and easy to use. I hate "easily carved" linoleum because I find my lines are distorted due to the softness of these materials. It's a nice hard/soft ride on the middle road. and since I can't transfer my drawings onto it I guess since I usually draw mine directly onto the linoleum I didn't…

Pros
  • SOFT MATERIAL - - Made from non-toxic polypropylene (PP)
Cons
  • Some flaws
