SGHUO 8pcs 4"x6" Pink Rubber Carving Blocks, 8mm Thick

Exactly what I needed them to be as someone beginning to explore lino art and stamp making. Good value for the price.

Quality rubber that provides thickness for ease of carving without worrying about your stamp having rough edges or inconsistency. All are the same thickness and density so there’s no need to change techniques because all your details allow for a quality appearance. They are a great size that allows for large and small stamps without running out of space for design. Flexible performance that always delivers each detail every time. You get a lot of product with endless possibilities for a great price. The quality is far above the price. Absolutely worth every penny. Get creative with these and enjoy the well spent time and money.

Super easy to to carve and printed great on both fabric and paper. Used oil-based inks, and the block took the ink like a champ and printed very evenly. The integrity of the lines held up great after 50+ pressings. I did hand print the block only, so I can't speak to how well it would work in an etching press. The surface of the block had a weird almost oily look to it, and I worried this would show up in the prints, but it was not an issue at all. For being called "poor quality", it seemed to be great quality to me! Only thing that made it tough to work with is that it's almost too easy to carve after working exclusively on the battleship gray stuff for so long. I did make some mistakes while carving, but a little PVA glue on the miscarved piece did the trick.

I bought Speedball's Speedy Carve first and loved it but couldn't justify the cost if I needed a large quantity. Tested this out and it's very similar. It doesn't crumble, it's very soft and easy on your hands. Great for making small stamps. Easy to draw your design on with pencil. I draw and erase right on the material without any issues. It might be slightly softer than Speedy Carve which seems to be smoother and a bit firmer. I find it difficult to get clean margins when I'm carving text with this material but it's still great to work with. I prefer this material to linoleum.

The order was timeous and what I expected. I have not yet started an artwork on one, but am looking forward to tryong it out. They are nice and thick so will make good printing plates.

Great product, very soft and easy to carve also a good value.

I was a little hesitant trying a medium sized piece (the Boston terrier) on this rubber for the first time, because I wasn't sure if it would end up being a HUGE waste of invested time. Actually, I'm pretty happy with my piece. The rubber itself is a little thicker than speedball, a little stiffer, little less flexible, and just a little bit less "buttery" to carve. The betta fish is a stamp I carved with speedball. With speedball, even with my most basic/cheap tools, I was able to get fine details. For Amazon's product, it was harder to achieve fine details with those same tools. I also feel like the ink sits a bit differently on this one, verses the speedball. I use an archival ink pad, and it stains my speedball carvings a deep black. Not that that matters so much, just included some differences I noticed. Do I recommend this product? Honestly- YES, I do. You get 8 pieces, which are great for practice or creating on a budget. It prints, as you can see, and its a completely usable lino. Get it for your kids, students, yourself, friends, family, anyone and everyone! Speedball is SO expensive, and limiting if you're on a budget. Get some of these and have some fun :) EDIT- I tried a second print, this time with an ink tube and roller from speedball, instead of a flat ink pad. I also used paper for printmaking, and the ink transfer is much darker this time. So in conclusion, the ink, paper, and carving tools MATTER

Perfect for my high school block printing lesson. They held up well and were easy to carve.

Easy to carve, and easy to draw on for stencil

Perfect and just as described

A bit softer than normal lino blocks I've bought before but otherwise fine
