Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this kit suitable for children?

While it includes a safety cutter, adult supervision is recommended due to the sharp nature of the lino blades.

Can I use this ink on fabric?

This ink is designed primarily for paper; it may wash out or fade on fabric surfaces.

How do I clean the ink roller?

Simply wash the roller with warm water and a little mild soap until the ink is completely removed.

Are replacement blades available?

Yes, Essdee manufactures various compatible blades that fit the included lino handle.

Do I need a printing press?

No, this kit includes a baren, which allows for manual printing by hand.

Troubleshooting

Ink is beading up on the block

Ensure you are using a thin layer of ink and have rolled it out thoroughly on an inking plate before applying it to the block.

Lines are jagged or uneven

Ensure the carving blade is sharp and you are pushing away from your body at a consistent, shallow angle.

Ink is smudging on paper

Use less pressure with the baren and ensure you are not using too much ink on the block surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Comprehensive all-in-one set for immediate use
SoftCut blocks are much easier to carve than traditional lino
High-quality, easy-clean water-based ink
Comfortable and durable handle design
Proudly manufactured in the United Kingdom

Cons

Included blocks may be too small for large-scale artwork
Limited to two blade sizes for advanced detail work
Requires additional paper surfaces to begin printing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your workspace, place your carving block on a non-slip surface to prevent movement. Always carve away from your body using the provided safety cutter. After printing, immediately wash the ink roller and lino blocks with cool, soapy water to prevent the water-based ink from drying on the equipment. Store your blades in a dry place to prevent oxidation and keep the baren clean to avoid stray ink marks on your next project. The materials in this kit are compatible with most standard block printing papers, but avoid using glossy or non-porous materials that may cause the water-based ink to smudge.
