When to choose it

Choose the 12-inch square for a square motif or broad image that needs the same room on both axes. Measure the design and margins before transferring it. A wide sheet also needs flat support while carving and a plan for moving the brayer across the whole image.

Richeson lists this unmounted stock as carvable on either side. If the design needs a long rectangular area, compare the 12 × 18-inch sheet. Choose the square when the extra length would add bench space without serving the print.

Questions about this product

How can I hand-print a large square with a small baren?

Plan overlapping zones from edge to edge and include all corners while keeping the sheet in registration.

Will a six-inch brayer cover the square in two passes?

Only two edge-to-edge passes leave no overlap. Plan the ink path around the actual raised image and check a proof.

Does this need a rigid backing?

The sheet has no mount. Supply stable support and choose a backing if your printing setup calls for one.
