smooth surfaces can be easily cut without crumbling. Prints can be produced by applying hand pressure
or by using a roller on the block over the area to be printed. Latex-free block. Does not contain
phtalates or banned heavy metal. Use of solvent causes damage to the block!

Linoleum Sheet: 

Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum is used for the relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller (called a Rubber brayer), and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a press.
