A5 Lino Sheets & Blocks \u2013 3.2mm Thick, Hessian-Backed, Biodegradable<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unlock new creative possibilities with our A5 Lino Sheets & Blocks<\/strong>, offering a high-quality, easy-to-carve<\/strong> 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<\/strong> provide the perfect balance of flexibility, durability, and smooth carving.<\/p>\n

Premium, Eco-Friendly Printmaking Lino<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Made from a biodegradable<\/strong> blend of linseed oil and wood flour<\/strong>, this lino is an environmentally conscious choice for printmakers who value sustainability. The linseed oil content ensures that the surface remains soft and workable<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

Hessian-Backed for Strength & Stability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Each A5 sheet is reinforced with a durable hessian backing<\/strong>, 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\u2019re working with fine lines or bold shapes.<\/p>\n

Compatible with Water-Based & Oil-Based Inks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Designed for maximum versatility, these lino sheets work seamlessly with all block printing inks<\/strong>, including water-based and oil-based<\/strong> formulations. Whether you prefer hand-printing<\/strong> with a baren or spoon or using a printing press<\/strong>, you can expect crisp, high-quality impressions with excellent ink adhesion.<\/p>\n

Soft & Effortless to Carve<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Manufactured by Essdee<\/strong>, these lino sheets are softer than traditional linoleum<\/strong>, making carving a breeze while still allowing for precision and detail. Whether you’re using Pfeil tools, Japanese carving knives, or standard gouges<\/strong>, you’ll experience a smooth, controlled cutting process<\/strong> that minimises hand fatigue and improves accuracy.<\/p>\n

Perfect for Small-Scale & Detailed Printmaking<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2714 Fine art prints<\/strong> with crisp lines and refined details<\/p>\n
