SGHUO 12pcs 4"x6" Pink Rubber Carving Blocks Linoleum Block Stamp Making Kit

I'm new to block printing (had not made one since 6th grade- ages ago!) and decided to try it again as a way to de-stress. These blocks are perfect! Price point is perfect for the quantity, great size, great thickness, and they are easy to carve. They carve so easily that it's actually quite relaxing! They do not crumble when carving. Carbon paper works decently on them, too, for transferring designs. They take ink well and I have consistent results with the finished prints. I've used some of my blocks multiple times and still receive consistent results. This is my go-to item when I need new blocks and they have pretty much helped make block printing my newest hobby! I've added pictures of two of my finished projects to show how well they work. I'd give more stars if I had the option. Heads up- they are MUCH heavier than they look!

My girlfriend said “I am in a printmaking class in college - i enjoyed it so much i wanted the stuff to do it at home. it works really well and prints good (i’m not a professional so idk what the standards are) i also didn’t get good ink yet so its splotchy but thats NOT the pads fault - its the ink and the pressure i applied”

Quality rubber that provides thickness for ease of carving without worrying about your stamp having rough edges or inconsistency. All are the same thickness and density so there’s no need to change techniques because all your details allow for a quality appearance. They are a great size that allows for large and small stamps without running out of space for design. Flexible performance that always delivers each detail every time. You get a lot of product with endless possibilities for a great price. The quality is far above the price. Absolutely worth every penny. Get creative with these and enjoy the well spent time and money.

Carves a little easier than the speedy carve in my opinion and is cheaper. The only issue I encountered was that the measurements were a little off. Just a little bit short of 6", the 4" is accurate.

I was a little hesitant trying a medium sized piece (the Boston terrier) on this rubber for the first time, because I wasn't sure if it would end up being a HUGE waste of invested time. Actually, I'm pretty happy with my piece. The rubber itself is a little thicker than speedball, a little stiffer, little less flexible, and just a little bit less "buttery" to carve. The betta fish is a stamp I carved with speedball. With speedball, even with my most basic/cheap tools, I was able to get fine details. For Amazon's product, it was harder to achieve fine details with those same tools. I also feel like the ink sits a bit differently on this one, verses the speedball. I use an archival ink pad, and it stains my speedball carvings a deep black. Not that that matters so much, just included some differences I noticed. Do I recommend this product? Honestly- YES, I do. You get 8 pieces, which are great for practice or creating on a budget. It prints, as you can see, and its a completely usable lino. Get it for your kids, students, yourself, friends, family, anyone and everyone! Speedball is SO expensive, and limiting if you're on a budget. Get some of these and have some fun :) EDIT- I tried a second print, this time with an ink tube and roller from speedball, instead of a flat ink pad. I also used paper for printmaking, and the ink transfer is much darker this time. So in conclusion, the ink, paper, and carving tools MATTER

Easy to carve and thick.

My first time making my own stamps so I don't have another product to compare it to. I've done two stamps so far using this product. It cuts easily, nice and soft. Price was awesome compared to other products.

These work exactly as intended, I plan out my sheets carefully and often get several large stamps from each pad so no issue with size, the size also makes it possible to make postcard or greeting card style stamps if you use a whole sheet at once. Make sure to save scraps that seem big enough for carving, you never know when you might want a smaller detail stamp (I’ve made small hearts, clovers, balloons, flowers, etc). These are not the softest rubber stamps so it does take some force to cut through them, but that tends to be my preference for more accurate cutting, just make sure your blades are sharp and ready to go and you shouldn’t have any issues using this product. I’ve had these for a while and made a huge selection of stamps and I still have over half the stack so it definitely goes a long way for the price!

Perfect and just as described

Easy to use and brings out great prints on both paper and fabric. Affordable and suitable for beginners and more experienced artists
