Essdee Softcut Lino – Easy Carve Lino Block Sheets – 150×105 (pack 10)

Essdee Softcut Lino – Easy Carve Lino Block Sheets – 150×105 (pack 10) delivers a smooth, predictable surface from first cut to final pull. As a Softcut block, it excels in everyday printmaking.

A consistent density across the plate minimises chatter and keeps fine details intact, even in delicate cross-hatching. The surface offers low resistance under the gouge, helping you maintain steady pressure through long curves and tight corners.

You can ink with water- or oil-based relief inks and expect dependable transfer across editions. Inking is straightforward and repeatable, supporting quick proofs and full print runs alike.

Use it for class demonstrations, small editions, greeting cards, or to prototype reduction sequences. From quick studies to detailed multi-layer projects, the sheet adapts without fuss. Pairs well with both V- and U-gouges, supporting crisp outlines and broad clears.
