This Softcut block supports crisp impressions and tidy edges.<\/p>\n<p>Edges hold cleanly after cutting, reducing rag and ensuring linework prints with clarity. The surface offers low resistance under the gouge, helping you maintain steady pressure through long curves and tight corners.<\/p>\n<p>You can ink with water- or oil-based relief inks and expect dependable transfer across editions. It rolls up evenly with a brayer and releases cleanly to a range of papers from lightweight washi to heavier cartridge.<\/p>\n<p>Use it for class demonstrations, small editions, greeting cards, or to prototype reduction sequences. It suits mark-making exercises for beginners as well as intricate plates for experienced printmakers. Works beautifully with Pfeil, Power Grip and similar gouges, and accepts cuts from knives for sharp corners.<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Papers<\/dt>\n<dd>Prints cleanly to washi, cartridge and smooth cotton papers<\/dd>\n<dt>Format<\/dt>\n<dd>Handy formats for proofs and editions<\/dd>\n<dt>Tools<\/dt>\n<dd>Compatible with Pfeil, Power Grip and similar gouges<\/dd>\n<dt>Inks<\/dt>\n<dd>Handles a wide range of relief ink formulations<\/dd>\n<dt>Surface<\/dt>\n<dd>Low-resistance cut that helps reduce tool chatter<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p>If you need dependable plates for practice or production, this option gives consistent results at a fair price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li>Low-resistance surface for accurate tool control<\/li>\n<li>Great for beginners and experienced printmakers<\/li>\n<li>Accepts a wide range of relief inks<\/li>\n<li>Practical sizes for studio or classroom use<\/li>\n<li>Durable plate for multiple projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21679,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[190,243,158,80,63],"product_tag":[247],"class_list":["post-34720","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-art-products-under-30","product_cat-back-to-school-sale","product_cat-lino-blocks-plates-sheets-rolls","product_cat-lino-printing-supplies","product_cat-equipment","product_tag-beginner","product_shipping_class-medium-parcel","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
