When to choose it
Choose this set if you already have carving stock and ink or want to select those separately. The cutter handle and five tips carve the design, the bench plate braces the block or takes the ink, and the soft Pop-In roller spreads ink before the Red Baron baren transfers the print by hand.
The included baren makes this set useful if you want to pull a proof without a press. If you need consumables too, compare a kit matched to paper or fabric. The extra advantage here is the hand-transfer tool, so check that it serves the way you plan to print.

Questions about this product
Why choose this set over the Deluxe paper kit?
Choose it if you already have a block and ink and want a hand-transfer tool. The Deluxe paper kit provides paper inks and blocks.
Where does the baren fit into the workflow?
Use it on the back of the paper after laying the paper on the inked block. The roller spreads ink before that step.
Can I use the tools for a fabric project?
Choose a suitable textile ink and fabric. Plan the transfer setup separately for the fabric and block you use.
