Product Description
The Speedball Speedy-Carve Block Printing Carving Block is made from revolutionary material that combines the ease of carving of other soft substrates and the fine detail of creating with traditional linoleum blocks. The pink block is latex free and measures 4 x 6 inches (1/4 inch thick surface). It is very beginner friendly and a popular choice to use in school and at home. The super soft, eraser-like texture of the block allows for young students to create printing blocks safely. Expert printers love using the Speedy-Carve Block as well. Effortlessly create your own custom stamps or printing blocks in school or at home. Designs can be simple or detailed, this carving block works well with any style. This carving block accepts transfers from laser printers, inkjet printers, clip art and newspapers. For use with water-soluble and oil-based block printing inks. Carving these blocks is a breeze and the material will not crack, crumble or break. We highly recommend using a bench hook to hold the block securely in place before carving.

We wanted to get some shirts and dresses printed for our wedding, but when we got the quote from our local printers, it was insane and not worth it. I had already planned to do block printing on some shirts we purchased and had a little bit of practice, so I figured this would be the perfect time to do it.
PROS
- Very smooth and easy AF to carve.
- This is large! One block of this can make a nice, large print on a dress or shirt.
CONS
- It is quite flimsy, so you'll have to be careful when actually block printing... especially if you make a large print like I did.
OVERALL
I love Speedball carving blocks! They are very easy to use, even for first-timers.
I plan on ordering more for other projects. I work with clay and creating custom stamps to stamp on bisque with underglaze allows me to create some cool, one of a kind pieces.
The speedy carve shipped and arrived promptly. I like the fact that it was packaged modestly; in just a plastic bag to keep it compact and neat. I truly hate an abundance of unnecessary hard to open packaging that clutter up our landfills.

Se que aquí compra el que quiera pero no es la primera vez que me sucede con otros artículos, empiezo a preguntarme si vale la pena seguir pagando el Prime? Ya que he encontrado mejores precios en las tiendas locales...
