The mixing ratio medium to lino print color should be at least 1 part medium to 1 part lino print color. The effect rises with the amount of medium.

Mix 1:1 with Schmincke Aqua-Linoprint Colors to slow down the drying time. As a result of this, it is useful when completing large editions of prints. It also makes creative effects possible by giving the Aqua color similar drying times to those of oil-based inks.

LINO CLEAN is ready to use but can be diluted with water if necessary. The addition of water reduces the cleaning force. Printing tools should not rest unnecessarily long in the cleaner. Submerge brushes only to the ferrule – in accordance to the used lacquers the product might also solve the varnish of the brush handle. All printing tools should be cleaned thoroughly with water after being treated with LINO CLEAN.

Close immediately after use due to its volatility and store in a cool dry place.

Speedball’s Speedy-Carve Blocks are designed for relief printmaking. They have a soft, putty-like surface which is easier to cut than traditional linoleum, and are designed for use with lino-cutting tools. As they are flexible, Speedy-Carve Blocks can be used to print onto flat or curved surfaces.As in lino-cutting, the desired design is cut in reverse into the surface of the block with gouges or knives. Water-soluble or oil-based ink is then transferred to the raised, uncut areas of the block using a roller/brayer. The design can be printed onto paper or fabric, in a press or by hand. The blocks are Latex-free.Dimensions: 23 x 30 cm Thickness: 0.6 cm
