ESSDEE 3.2/L5 Lino Printing Block 400x300x3.2mm Pk2, Linoleum, Grey, 406 x 305

Excellent product from Essdee. I use these with the tools from the same brand and find them of very good quality. I found these easy to use but had been researching how to videos on the internet before purchase. These lino blocks are a bit firmer texture than some of the other sheets made by this brand, which I appreciated when first starting out as I found I made less mistakes. Dimensions were true to description and sheets are a good size for smaller or practice cuts or making a postcard (ish) sized full print. Good appearance, the colour is light enough that you can see pencil marks on them easily. Hold the detail of cuts well and prints were decent. I like that these are made of natural materials (linseed oil and wood flour) and that they are biodegradable. Suitable for use with both water and oil based inks. Price point at time of purchase very good. Highly recommend.

This came in good time . Nice and wobbly so fresh product. It's lino so a little more challenging to carve. Could get seriously addicted to this

These are my favourite Lino printing blocks ! Cheap and great quality, there not too dark in colour so easy to print onto and see where your carving, they clean off nicely, the size is perfect I’d say !

Good size - good value. Cuts easily and keeps clean edges when printed. Arrived quickly and was well packaged

Bought to create stamps for my air dry clay but with the rush of making Christmas ornaments I've yet to use this. It looks good and has a good thickness, great value for money.

This is quite tough Lino and should only be used with really good quality cutting tools as cheaper ones struggle to make a good smooth cut.

I was pleased with this pack. I needed some standard, battle-ship grey, hessian backed lino for linocut printing. ( It is harder to carve than the pink or beige softcut stuff but I feel it takes fine detail better.) I was a bit worried that it might be old stock - old lino is a nightmare to carve being very hard and prone to crumble and snap - but this was fresh being nicely flexible and smelling strongly of linseed oil. (Its made from cork, linseed oil and jute so is natural and plastic free.) I find the dimensions of this rather strange, 305mm x 203mm is 8mm longer than A4 but 7mm narrower and is very slightly longer and wider than 8" x 12". But as I intend to use up my stash of 11"x14" Strathmore 300 Printmaking paper this is an acceptable size for me. Printmaking is a marvellous project to explore for lockdown for everybody I think. This is the same stuff that Essdee supplies in their excellent lino cutting and printing kit so if you are needing to replenish that with bigger pieces this is a good pack to get.

I have purchased Essdee battleship great artists linoleum many times. It’s always arrived in great condition, soft and not crumbly at all. It’s easy to carve (with sharp tools), the lines you get are sharp, it’s great for small details and prints really well. I often buy this size and cut it up as it’s cheaper than buying the smaller blocks.

El mejor para trabajar, lástima que no hacen piezas más grandes.

Material de gran calidad

Pour avoir testé des kits de lino débutant c'est incomparable, celui-ci est beaucoup plus facile à creuser. De plus il est clair donc le transfert d'image se fait facilement sans se galérer avec du crayon blanc. Lino un peu fin donc se déforme facilement après nettoyage mais calé entre deux bouquins pour le sechage je n'ai pas eu de soucis pour retrouver la forme d'origine.

Buona qualità e discreta lavorabilità. Peccato per il prezzo un po' elevato.
