4196 Speedy-Carve Block Printing Carving Block – Soft, Easy Carve Surface – 9 x 11-3/4 Inches, Pink

I did print block carving way back in 6th grade but I was just recently looking to get back into stamp carving for letterboxing. I ordered this product so that I can carve my own personalized stamps. Pros: -- Easy to carve -- Doesn't have a 'chemical' smell -- Pleasant texture to work with -- Appears to be holding up well (I have only had it for a few weeks) Cons: -- The edges of the product are just barely sloped but it is enough to have an impact on the clarity of stamping. I found that I had to cut off about a 1/4 of an inch from each side to achieve a flat plane to work with. Conclusions: I really enjoyed working with this product. I have yet to back my product and expose them to the letterboxing elements but the rubber feels like it is substantial. I would definitely recommend and repurchase in the future.

I bought this because I needed something longer. Good texture and easy to carve. Good value if you are serious about your work.

high quality rubber for stamp easy and detailed carving. smooth and dense. great size for larger prints, but I use it to cut multiple stamps out of.

I have just done my first block printing. It was easy to carve. Definitely will buy more.

I like this because it is fast to carve, but I don’t like that material tears really easily. It’s hard to explain, but I had already tried to carve on the other material. I don’t know what that’s called. I have to look it up, but it’s a harder surface. It’s not wood. It’s a different laminate type material anyways that one seemed to have worked better this one I do like that you don’t have to push his hard so I guess if you’re practicing it’s a great piece to practice on especially if you’re trying to hurry up see if it’s for a gift or something like that like I did. I liked it for that purpose. I bought an extra piece because I thought that I would use it again, but I didn’t rush back into it like I thought I would’ve.

works well for hand printing of many copies. stable, can be saved for years. great “carvability.”

My favorite carving rubber. Perfect for smooth and easy cuts.

I took a rubber stamp carving workshop and got frustrated because the material (one of the knock-offs) crumbled so much. This more expensive product from Speedball is worth it for us beginners--it is very forgiving and makes me a better carver!

It's very small size , very disappointed:(

Expensive but very good for rubber stamps.

Cuts cleanly and easily with no crumbling. Will order more.

Das mit Abstand beste Stempelgummi zum Schnitzen von Stempeln, das es gibt! Leicht zu schneiden, aber es bröselt nicht und hält sich auch viel besser als andere Marken, sodass man lange etwas von seinen Stempeln hat. Es lassen sich sehr feine Motive schneiden und die Oberfläche ist fest und dicht. Schade, dass es das nicht in Deutschland zu kaufen gibt. Versand aus GB ging aber sehr schnell. Der Block war nach 3 Tagen da.

Esse bloco é perfeito pra fazer carimbos. Macio, durável, não solta muito farelo. De excelente qualidade. Uso muito desse modelo.
