When to choose it
The 8 × 10-inch face gives a larger image room to breathe, especially if you want to place a margin around the carved design. Lay out the full footprint before transferring a drawing. For a multi-block print, decide how the sheet edges will meet your registration stops.
This is unmounted gray lino with a 1/8-inch sheet thickness. Support the sheet on a flat surface and check that any other blocks in a registered series sit at a compatible height. A wide image will also need either a wider roller or a planned overlap between passes.

Questions about this product
How do I keep two color blocks aligned?
Build the layout around repeatable stops for the paper and block. Check position and face height before carving the second block.
Can I use this for a smaller design?
Yes. A 5 × 7 sheet may be easier to secure and ink if the design and its margins fit comfortably.
Will an eight-inch roller cover the entire design?
Compare its working width with the part of the face that prints. Allow room to load the roller on the inking plate as well.
