Comments about Blick Golden-Cut Linoleum:

I bought this product in the hope that I would get clear crisp lines. I have tried many different types of printing material hoping to find something easier to work with than linoleum... However this is as difficult to cut, and crumbles right below the surface. I have yet to print it? I am still trying to cut it!
Hope this helps someone else in their purchasing.

This product is too hard and brittle for kids to cut. I am returning it.

I ordered some of this, hoping it would be easier for my students to carve than the battleship gray. However, it is harder and more brittle, slippery to carve and doesn't cut very smoothly. My students that are using this are having a harder time than the ones with the battleship linoleum. I would rather deal with the battleship gray than this.

The quality and freshness of the linoleum was good, but the edges had been damaged, and I needed to cut them down by an inch or so to trim off the broken corners.

My high school students complain much less about carving this than the gray linoleum they had been using before. Sometimes it breaks a little bit with dull carving tools, but it hasn't been much of a problem.

I use this product for relief printing. Soft enough for my 7 year old to carve right at my side!

Great product that the kids can easily use and carve. No where as hard as linoleum and produces great line! I would tell every HS teacher to use this stuff!

I've been teaching art for almost 20 yrs., and bought this for my 11 yr. old to try lino cutting. (Please note: I do not recommend linocut for most young artists, and this was done with careful 1 on 1 supervision) I use traditional battleship gray linoleum myself, so I have high expectations for line clarity and ability to hold details, but needed a softer material for her younger hands and muscles. It was great! I cut her first few outlines of larger areas, which she then carved away, building her to do her own edges and then into her smaller details. She did have to work a bit to use a good amt of pressure, but quickly got a feel for it. (The pressure felt like well heated battleship, but without the fuzzing.) She had clean, crisp edges, almost no "chipping out," sank into small details, and only "bottomed out" once. It also took the ink (we used Speedball) smoothly, printing clearly. I'm very happy with the product!
