Speedball 4346 Speedy-Cut Printing Block-Soft Rubber-Like Material Easy to Carve, 4 x 5.5 Inches

I have carved a lot of stamps and I always use this product. It is easy to carve and longlasting.

This linoleum is super easy to use comparing it with the linoleum block I bought before. Will definitely keep buying this one!

I chose this speedball speedy cut printing blocks (the big size). it is very soft and easy to make stamps. it's something that i could'nt find in my country. I recommend it to everyone.

This block was so easy to cut! Maybe TOO easy, haha. It was nice to have something that was super easy to cut. A note - I'm used to using sharpies to draw my design on lino. This block doesn't 'take' Sharpie well. Sharpies don't want to write on it, and the Sharpie ink kind of spotted/flaked. I had to use a regular ballpoint pen, and the black of the pen ink came through on the test proofs(but that still looked good, so no complaints here). Also, there is not much color difference between the surface and what's cut away. I used this to make my Xmas cards this year! Would buy again.

I knew this wouldn't be the greatest quality fake-linoleum, but after carving it, the edges would crumble away and there was no way to get a clean edge as I have on some other "speedy carve" blocks (such as the pink or blue ones). This crumbly edge happened and was able to clear away by hand, but it was difficult to get detail edge. This is what you get for trying a cheap shortcut or any "speedy carve" Lino (the real stuff is the best even though its hardest to cut, hence the "speed" of the soft rubber). If you do need to use this "speedy cut" block kind, I would recommend the blue or pink color rubber blocks because those didn't crumble away on me.

Very nice quality. Just wish the price was better.

Worked out great for the project I was doing

This carving rubber I figured would be a thicker version of their pink carving rubber. I use that one to make stamps. How wrong I was. As soon as I make the smallest cut with my xacto the whole thing splits. It CRUMBLES. It's so soft and weak and prone to breaking I just threw the whole thing away. Very very disappointed in this product.

Cuts like butter

Easy to cut and use

Good

I like this but getting the fine details I wanted was a little bit difficult.
