When to choose it
Choose this 9 × 11¾-inch face for an elongated image, such as a tall botanical design with a narrow border. The 9-inch short side is the first measurement to check. If the image and margin need more room in that direction, the 11¾-inch square is the closer fit.
This is the same soft Speedy-Carve family as the small pink block. Lay out the full design and think through the inking and transfer path at the longer dimension. If you are making one small repeat motif, the 4 × 6-inch block may fit it more conveniently.

Questions about this product
Is the long side useful if my print is almost square?
Use the nine-inch short side as the limit. Compare the square version if a square image with margins needs more width.
Where should I leave room around a tall illustration?
Allow space at the edges where you plan to support the block or stop your cutter. Mark the intended printed area first.
Can I repeat a small motif without carving the whole rectangle?
Yes. A small block can be repositioned for repeats. Buy the longer sheet when the image itself or the layout needs the longer face.
