For best results, use a bench hook to secure the block during carving.

The Science Behind Speedy-Carve
Speedball's Speedy-Carve block utilizes a proprietary soft rubber compound engineered for optimal carving performance. Unlike traditional linoleum which can be brittle, this material offers a smooth, consistent cut without flaking or cracking. Its unique composition ensures that fine details are preserved during carving and ink transfer, providing a reliable surface for both water-based and oil-based inks. This formulation is designed to be safe and easy to use, making it a preferred choice for educational settings and hobbyists seeking a hassle-free printmaking experience.
Who It's For & Who Should Skip
This block is perfect for beginners, students, and artists in India looking for an easy-to-carve, safe, and versatile surface for creating custom stamps, greeting cards, and relief prints. It's ideal for detailed linocut designs and projects where a soft, non-brittle material is preferred. However, professional printmakers requiring extremely hard surfaces for heavy-duty industrial printing or those needing large, continuous blocks might find this specific size limiting. Consider larger blocks or harder materials if your project demands industrial-scale printing or extreme durability under heavy press use.
