BLICK Printmaking

Specially formulated for Blick, we import this linoleum from Europe several times a year to provide the softest quality possible. It gives a finely detailed, sharp, clear print. Available unmounted (1/8" thick) by the square foot, in pre-cut pieces (up to 18 x 18"), by the roll, or mounted on blocks (7/8" thick).

Working with traditional lino tools, Easy-To-Cut cuts beautifully, leaving smooth, clean edges. Its shelf life can be up to ten times longer than that of traditional linoleum.
