Lino Relief Printmaking Carving Set
Lino Relief Printmaking Carving Set. Block Printing is a fun, and simple way to make business cards and holiday greetings in addition to illustrations. The Flexcut Lino and Relief Printmaking Set comes complete with all the tools you need to carve your design into a wood, or linoleum block.
First of all, block printing begins with a design carved into the flat surface of either a “block” made of soft wood or linoleum. The block is inked with a roller so only the remaining flat surface of the block receives ink. Paper is finally pressed onto the inked block to make a print.
Block print designs can be intricate or as simple as your name or logo on a business card. Either way, starting with a set of sharp tools will go along way towards making a successful print.
Kit includes 1 ABS handle, 4 razor sharp blades, a tool roll, instructions. A slip strop and a small block of honing compound is also included. Sweeps included are: #6 x 5/16″ Gouge, #11 x 1/8″ Gouge, 45 deg. x 1 mm V-Tool, 70 deg. x 1/4″ V-Tool.
The Flexcut Lino and Relief Printmaking set is Made in Pennsylvania, USA.
