Great alternative to lino
These are a great alternative to traditional lino. They're soft and easy to carve and because they're double sided, it's easy to flip it over if you make a small mistake and try again.Heat these up a little and your blades will glide through them.

Great Quality, Slight Flatness Issue - Essential Arts Soft Lino Polymer Blocks
I recently purchased the 100 x 150mm Double Sided Soft Lino Polymer Blocks from Essential Arts, and while the quality of the printing sheets is excellent, there was a minor concern with flatness.**Super Soft and Easy to Carve: π¨β¨**The softness of these polymer blocks makes them a joy to carve. They are incredibly easy to work with, allowing for intricate designs and detailed printing. The thickness of 3.2mm strikes a good balance, providing stability while remaining versatile for various artistic applications.**Curling at Edges - Slight Flatness Issue: ππ€**However, I did encounter a slight flatness issue with the sheets. Some of them were not completely flat and exhibited a tendency to curl at the edges. While this didn't significantly hinder the carving process, it was a minor inconvenience during printing.**Versatility in Double-Sided Design: ππ**The double-sided feature is a practical aspect, offering flexibility in carving and allowing for the creation of more prints without the need for additional blocks. This adds to the overall value of the product for artists working on multiple projects.**Packaging and Quantity: π¦π’**The packaging was secure, and receiving a pack of 10 sheets is generous. It provides a good quantity for various projects, and the sheets were individually protected, ensuring they arrived in excellent condition despite the minor flatness issue.**Overall, Excellent Quality: ππ**In conclusion, despite the minor flatness issue, the Essential Arts Soft Lino Polymer Blocks deliver excellent quality for carving and printing. The softness, thickness, and double-sided design make them a valuable addition to any artist's toolkit. If the flatness issue is addressed in future batches, these sheets would easily earn a five-star rating. Currently, it's a solid four stars for their overall quality and versatility.

Easy
Easy to use and soft. Better than other lino Iβve used before. Bit dark and difficult to tell the difference between cuts

Easy to use
Use for art work - cutting into and printing. Surface easy to cut. Fine to print from, the only issue is that they are very slightly curved upwards rather than totally flat.

Quality product, easy to use
Just starting out with Lino-cut printing. Found these sheets cut cleanly and accurately, though they have quite a hard surface, so I wouldnβt describe them as βsuper-softβ to use. I found that lightly fine-sanding the surface helped with ink adhesion/coverage.
