Printing Plates

LinoSoft has been formulated for very easy cutting. It holds fine detail without crumbling and yet stands hard against the pressures of printing presses. It can be drawn on in pencil due to its near white surface. Finely smooth on one side, textured on the other, Lino Soft is both double-sided and flexible. The ideal substitute for Linoleum. 
Clear Carve is made of a flexible, durable material that is easy to carve and will not dry out or crack over time. Clear Carve Linoleum is a clear carving surface that eliminates the need for transferring an image. Any image can be copied easily making the block printing more enjoyable. Carvable on both sides.
The Wooden Veneer Plate is specially manufactured in Japan for wood block (relief) printing applications. This 3 ply timber features two 0.5mm smooth timber surfaces of uniform grain and quality (for easy engraving), laminated to a 2.0mm core to produce a 3mm thick plate which does not warp, expand or contract.  Produces a beautiful print. 
Viny Cut Relief Plates are superior block printing plates manufactured from synthetic rubber resin to produce a soft, double sided printing plate of superb quality. Features two smooth printing surfaces laminated to a softer rubber core and is far easier to carve than the traditional lino plates. Plates are 3.2mm thick.
Japanese Wood Blocks are solid timber woodblocks from Japan featuring a silky smooth, machined printing surface (both sides) which gives excellent definition when printed. This soft, uniform quality timber is easy to engrave and has the least expansion and contraction of the natural woodblocks. Plates are 10mm thick.
