Most block print artists will say that this (Battleship Gray) is the best lino for carving. As a relative beginner, I found it a bit stiff and hard to carve. But my results were great! Those same artists will also tell you that they older lino is stiffer and harder to carve, as is cold lino (some warm it up a bot b4 carving). I don’t know if my difficulties were due to old/cold lino or “user error”. Either way, I persisted and got some good prints.

I haven't tried carving these yet. They are not too hard but not too soft. We will see how it goes. It's hard to find too many options, or at least that I have found so far. All are pretty pricey but that seems to be the norm. I think they are worth getting as a beginner to try printmaking out.
