Essdee SoftCut Carving Blocks are designed to offer smooth, controlled carving while maintaining precision and durability. The SoftCut material cuts easily with lino tools, holds fine detail and produces clean, consistent prints without tearing or crumbling.
The light-coloured, double-sided surface allows you to draw directly onto the block with pencil, making design transfer simple. Compatible with water-based and oil-based inks, these blocks can be used for hand printing and, with care, in a printing press. The 15 × 20 cm size (approx. A5) is ideal for stamps, patterns, cards and smaller printmaking projects.
