Speedball Deluxe Block Printing Kit - Includes Inks, Brayer, Bench Hook, Lino Handle and Cutters, Speedy-Carve Block, Mounted Linoleum Block (3472)

I already own everything i needed for linocut, but i needed new paint and brayer. This was almost the same price as the 2 things i needed, and for 50 bucks you cannot pass it up. It contains everything youll need, paint, brayer, lino, speedball cutter and a plate for paint. Speedball definitely had design and functionally in mind when making it. Ive recently got my kid to try and he loved it! Its a great project for kids

Quality items. This kit has all the items you need if you have serious interest in block-printing. If you buy the cheaper kits, eventually you'll have to buy the other items at a higher cost.

This is a great starter kit which makes for the perfect gift for anyone wanting an easy way to get into blockprinting. Very friendly for beginners, it comes with all the basics one would need to start producing art. Prettily packaged, although the box seems like it could have been a bit smaller.

I bought this to make block prints for my Patreon members. I didn't choose the best paper for the job, so that's where most of my consistency issues are arising I think. I also purchased some extra rubber carving blocks and have only used those so far, so I can't comment on the blocks provided in the kit yet. I'll be trying out the linoleum soon when I've decided on a design worthy of it.I noticed several reviewers complaining about the carving tool getting jammed - I have not had that issue. I think they're loading their tips incorrectly. There are two metal pieces inside the housing that hold the tips by compressing the curved end in between them, you need to place the tip in between those two pieces and tighten it, and you're good to go. It's not the most comfy carving tool but it works fine and the built in storage is nice.My only complaint is mainly with the brayer. It doesn't roll super freely, being the snap in style there's a little resistance occasionally, so it sometimes will slide through the ink instead of rolling through it and sometimes it takes extra rolls to get the right consistency. The bench hook is metal and quite nice quality, though I wish it was white or tan instead of black. But it doesn't really matter because you can see the ink texture so black on black is not a real issue.All in all a great starter kit to build off of, certainly worth the $50. I say buy it, but be ready to buy more stuff if you enjoy the process.I'm going to upgrade my brayer and get a baren and some fabric ink to round out my kit. When my carving tips get too dull I'll upgrade that tool, too. Happy printing!

This is by far the best set I found for carving stamps. I took an art class for textiles and we carved stamps to put acrylic paint on fabrics. This set was the perfect set to get the carvings I wanted. The carving tool is easy to use and fits in the had nicely. The carving board is good for safety to hold against the bottom of my work-space and not push the tool into my hand while carving. The colors of ink that come with the set are good colors and work on many light colored card stock.The next time I want to carve my own stamps I will be ordering a Speedball product!!!

This is everything you need to get started. Love it.

The nibs are in the handles!
