A5 Lino Sheets & Blocks – 3.2mm Thick, Hessian-Backed, Biodegradable
Unlock new creative possibilities with our A5 Lino Sheets & Blocks, offering a high-quality, easy-to-carve surface that is perfect for small to medium-sized relief prints. Whether you’re a professional printmaker or just starting your journey, these 3.2mm thick, hessian-backed sheets provide the perfect balance of flexibility, durability, and smooth carving.
Premium, Eco-Friendly Printmaking Lino
Made from a biodegradable blend of linseed oil and wood flour, this lino is an environmentally conscious choice for printmakers who value sustainability. The linseed oil content ensures that the surface remains soft and workable, reducing the likelihood of the lino becoming brittle over time. This makes it an excellent option for both fine detail work and bold carving techniques.
Hessian-Backed for Strength & Stability
Each A5 sheet is reinforced with a durable hessian backing, preventing stretching or warping and ensuring a stable carving surface. This added strength makes the lino more resilient under pressure, keeping your prints sharp and consistent, whether you’re working with fine lines or bold shapes.
Compatible with Water-Based & Oil-Based Inks
Designed for maximum versatility, these lino sheets work seamlessly with all block printing inks, including water-based and oil-based formulations. Whether you prefer hand-printing with a baren or spoon or using a printing press, you can expect crisp, high-quality impressions with excellent ink adhesion.
Soft & Effortless to Carve
Manufactured by Essdee, these lino sheets are softer than traditional linoleum, making carving a breeze while still allowing for precision and detail. Whether you’re using Pfeil tools, Japanese carving knives, or standard gouges, you’ll experience a smooth, controlled cutting process that minimises hand fatigue and improves accuracy.
