The smooth surface and soft texture of the SoftCut lino sheets makes cutting easy: blades will glide through with minimal effort. SoftCut prints well onto a range of surfaces including paper, card and fabric. It can even print onto curved surfaces due to its flexibility. The surface of the lino is cut away using special lino cutters or a knife to form the basis of the lino print. The block is inked up with a roller (known as a brayer) and this creates a positive image when printed onto paper or fabric. The printing process can be done by hand or with a press. You can use water-based lino ink, oil-based lino ink, or a block printing medium mixed with paint.

This innovative range of oil-based inks can be washed away with liquid soap and water, without the need for harmful and often more expensive solvents. Ideal for printmakers interested in a safe and non-toxic alternative. Caligo 'safe wash' inks are available for both relief and intaglio printing. Contains a small percentage of driers (less than 1%).Caligo Safe Wash Relief Inks are suitable for all types of relief printing, for example, linocut, woodcut, wood engraving, photopolymer and letterpress. Safe Wash Inks are oil-based, this means you can still use many of the modifiers used with traditional inks. For example you can use Magnesium Carbonate / Talc, Cobalt / Manganese Driers, or Caligo Wiping Compound / Tack Reducer etc. We also stock Caligo Safe Wash Oil - a washable oil that you can add to any ink from the Safe Wash range when you need to thin your ink a little.

Cranfield Traditional Relief Ink is formulated from a careful mix of traditional linseed oils and vibrant lightfast pigments. As well as being highly pigmented, the formulation provides a viscosity and structure to the ink, along with the unique linseed smell. This keeps the relief print as fresh and bright as the day it was created. All the inks are rated 6 or higher on the International Blue Wool Scale. The range benefits from lovely metalic silver and gold as well as a transparent base. They can be used on all types of relief plate and can be cleaned up with vegetable oil before a final wipe with a low odour or plant based solvent.

This heavyweight roller is perfectly smooth allowing for a greater quantity of ink to be held and in doing so also means a greater amount of coverage. A wet roller can simply be turned over and the handle doubles as a stand for cleaner working. Made from a hand-ground concentric EPDM rubber surface, which means it is flexible yet resistant to weathering. The EDPM rubber is of medium hardness and gives excellent pickup and deposit of all types of ink. This tool is the choice for the artisan printmaker with good recovery to indentation, and resistance to common printing chemicals. Perfect for printmaking, wood engraving and woodcut.

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: 10x15 cmThickness: 0.6 cm
Made from soft, natural latex gum rubber with a precision-ground finish, Speedball Soft Rubber Brayers are ideal for use with linoleum, vinyl, or wood blocks. The heavy-duty steel frame provides enhanced durability, and the flexibility of the 40/42 durometer rubber ensures for even ink distribution especially over uneven surfaces. The roller diameter is 30mm and the widths range from 1.5in/38mm to 6in/150mm.  Designed for use with water based and oil based inks. Care should be taken with the rubber rollers when cleaning and storing.  Lightly dust with talc to avoid the surface becoming sticky and ensure the surface of the roller is not pressing against anything when put away.
