Falling in Art 6 * 12 Linoleum Carving Blocks, 2 Pack Soft Stamp Rubber Blocks for Crafts and Artists Printmaking, Gray,1/8" Thick

Easy to carve. Makes clear lines. Inks well. Good value!

I really enjoyed using these. They are thinner than the standard grey sheets from art stores but I think because they don’t have that fiber backing. I like that when you carve the color underneath is slightly lighter, allowing you to see where you have carved easily. The rubber is firm but doesn’t crumble like the standard tan / grey sheets and is easy to carve details. I prefer this to the standard pink rubber as that block makes details difficult and bends too much while carving. This one has give like the pink rubber but not as much the details easier. I am still new to block printing but I like this product and will continue using it for a bit.

Great value for the money, but I was expecting the non-bendable linoleum with the burlap backing on it. Once I got my design on it and started carving I realized that there wasn't really a substantial difference. This linoleum was a little softer, but that was it. Definitely do not regret this purchase at all, gave me great results!

This product works exactly how it should. Anyone having trouble getting solid results is lacking something in their process. Transfering an image is insanely easy.. Draw your design on paper with a pencil and rub the paper face down on the lino from the backside. BAM, image transfer and it'll be backwards for proper printing. This lino is THIN. Being aware of that, don't gouge too deep.. its simple. If your tools are dull, you will NOT get a clean cut.. on any surface. Sharpen your tools. The video I uploaded shows my entire process for proof. Don't listen to these naysayers, learn your craft. This is a solid product.

I got what I ordered. 4 sheets in the correct size. The graphite tracing transfer method does not work well. The hot iron method with the printed image (using brother tn830 printer) works well. The lino sheets did curl around the edges while using the iron, but flattened after some time. Haven't tried cutting on them yet, but I'm sure with sharp tools it will cut smoothly.

This was the first material i used when i started block printing. I purchased it because of the large size and price for two pieces. After working with this and trying other linoleum materials i find it easier to cut through but it scratches easily because it's more of a soft vinyl. I've been coating it with thinned white acrylic paint so i can draw or transfer a design onto it. I find it difficult to do a transfer without this step. Carbon paper does not work well because of the slippery surface. I started using a white carbon pencil to draw directly on the block also and this works well because I can easily erase. It can bend out of shape if not stored flat after carving and sharpie marker makes it get gummy so you can't really use it like you can on real linoleum. EDIT: I've been using this almost exclusively for linocut prints and have purchased it 4 times since discovering it. It is very easy to carve compared to battleship linoleum which I find to be very hard on my hands. It holds lines well. I have not found it to be crumbly at all. I began linocut printing using this material and after trying the Hessian backed linoleum I prefer this material. It is super easy to wash the ink off of after printing. I just run it under water in the sink and use a small bit of soap to get the ink off. It does scratch easily as I discovered by accident when I tried to scrub acrylic paint off of it a bit too aggressively. I bought some white charcoal pencils to draw my designs onto the surface. So much easier to see your design. Dark pencil wasn't working for me. Product says Made in China. Seller continues to raise the price of the 2 pack but it's still cheaper and easier to get my hands on with Amazon Prime than buying dried out lino from my local hobby lobby for $8 for a small sheet.

take the word “soft” very seriously. Texture is like, well, rubber. Not the solid linoleum im used to but good for the price. Did cut myself a lot on the learning curve but once I got used to the soft texture it was fine.

This linoleum is a little stiffer than most kinds but still super easy to carve and it's two toned so it's easy to see your work. Will definitely be buying again.
