When to choose it

Choose this 5 × 7-inch block when you want the carving sheet supported by its own backing. The listing specifies 1/8-inch lino on a 3/4-inch mount. Compare the whole block height with your bench stop and registration jig before choosing it over an unmounted sheet of the same face size.

The face suits a small design, such as a label or card image, with room for a handling margin. If you are adding it to a group of unmounted color blocks, plan for the height difference before committing the design to the block.

Questions about this product

Is the 3/4-inch measurement the carving depth?

It describes the backing. The listing puts the lino layer at 1/8 inch.

Would the same face size fit the same registration jig?

The footprint can match while the printing height changes. Check both and make a proof before adding a second color.

What does the backing change compared with a loose sheet?

It gives the lino a rigid support and lifts the printing face above the table. Allow for that height at the stop or in the jig.
