Everything you need to begin your first steps into relief printing. The Essdee block printing essentials kit contains a selection of good quality tools and equipment which provide you with all the essentials you need for block printing.

Kit contains:

• 2 x SoftCut Carving Blocks 150 x 105mm
• 100ml Premium Block Printing Ink (Black)
• Essdee Ink Roller with Purple Handle (65mm wide)
• Lino Handle with Aluminum Ferrule which allows the easy fitting and tightening of the cutters and Baren base
• Baren Base and Cap
• Lino Cutter Style A – A safety lino cutter with a recessed cutting edge. Ideal for younger or less experienced users. These easy-to-use cutters have especially designed “wings” to protect your hand and allow safe cutting. The wings also prevent the cutter from carving too deeply resulting in a consistent, clean cut line every time.
• Lino Cutter Style 1 – For fine lines and cross hatching. Never push any cutter deeper than the sides of the point. A line of 0.5mm or less is possible on SoftCut material and a little wider in Lino. Take care when inking over fine lines as they can fill in.
• Lino Cutter Style 2 – A universal and easy to use tool with a low angle of attack. Commonly used as a basic first-time tool to cut lines up to 1.5mm or less.
