When to choose it

Choose this sheet if a 5 × 7-inch image needs a low carving face or you want to make use of the reverse side. Richeson identifies both faces as carvable. Plan both designs before removing a deep area on either side, and check that the face you are printing sits flat.

The 5 × 7-inch mounted Richeson variant has the same outside face size but includes a rigid backing. Choose this version when your bench or jig already supports the sheet and the lower face height is useful.

Questions about this product

Should I buy the mounted sheet if the block must be rigid?

Compare the mounted model if you want built-in backing. This sheet relies on the support you provide.

Can I reuse the second face for an unrelated design?

Richeson lists both sides as carvable. Plan how the first cut and the support affect the second face.

How do I keep an unmounted sheet still?

Use a flat support and a stop that fits the sheet and bench edge before cutting.
