Description
Essdee Softcut Lino – Easy Carve Lino Block Sheets – 75×75 (pack 10) delivers a smooth, predictable surface from first cut to final pull. As a Softcut block, it excels in everyday printmaking.
Edges hold cleanly after cutting, reducing rag and ensuring linework prints with clarity. A consistent density across the plate minimises chatter and keeps fine details intact, even in delicate cross-hatching.
Inking is straightforward and repeatable, supporting quick proofs and full print runs alike. It rolls up evenly with a brayer and releases cleanly to a range of papers from lightweight washi to heavier cartridge.
It suits mark-making exercises for beginners as well as intricate plates for experienced printmakers. 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.
