good rubber for stamp reliefs, good texture, good density, good pliability - not stretchy

Super nice, the fact they're green on the inside makes a load of difference. They're easy to carve and hold ink well.

I think someone is hacking this listing. Why would you list something as poor quality, even if it was? I trusted the reviews and decided to take a chance. This stuff is wonderful. It carves and prints beautifully. I don't carve deep enough for most prints to really take advantage of the green interior (maybe a hint of green shows) so I paint a thin layer of cheap acrylic paint on the surface, otherwise it's impossible to tell on the white surface where I've carved and where i haven't, but that's a good practice anyway and it washes right off once my block is carved. This stuff carves like butter, doesn't crumble, and prints beautifully. I've printed using Akua, regular Speedball block printing ink, and Golden Open Acrylics and all three printed beautifully with these blocks. I wish they came in larger sizes, I'd have no need to ever buy the expensive stuff again. I received my order 2 days ago and I'm already reordering. DEAR MANUFACTURER: Please make this product available in larger sizes for large printmaking!

Ordered these after using a more expensive name brand product. These got the job done, and the green core is an added bonus. The green core provides a point of reference on how deep you have cut, this I found to be very helpful when carving.Not sure if I would carve on the opposite side of a carved piece, although it could be possible- I do not think that weight distribution would allow for a clean printing. But potentially, you could carve a double- sided stamp.Lots of fun to get the creative juices flowing. Block printing is a new hobby of mine, and I will most likely order these again.Its also important to note the size, these are ver easy to cut to size! Very nice.

I bought this lino on a whim; I usually use the pink Speedball lino but this was cheap and I i was curious.I’m really really impressed with this lino and it’s become my go-to lately. It carves very easily and lets you get just as detailed as the SB Speedy Carve. It’s very good for beginners and excellent for those interested in making “stamps” as opposed to traditional block prints. What’s impressed me is how good it is at holding ink: when I’m testing a cut I’ll use a cheap watercolor marker (think generic Tombows) and this lino allows for wonderful prints. All pics I’ve included are using watercolor markers. It also cleans up easily with dish soap and can be mounted to wooden blocks using gorilla glue just fine. I’m in love!A big caveat, though: this is definitely more comparable to SB Speedy Carve, not to SB’s golden or Richeson battleship. It’s not as firm as the golden or battleship and, as a result, cannot be easily used for incredibly detailed work.
