When to choose it

Choose Style 3 for a tight round profile with relatively upright walls. Essdee describes a possible 2 mm line. This can be useful for narrow straight cuts, especially in SoftCut. Keep the cut shallow enough to support the raised printing area beside it.

The five-pack repeats one shape for a compatible Essdee handle. Choose Style 1 for fine hatching or a larger profile if you need to clear a broad area. Use a proof to see how the shape translates into the printed line.

Questions about this product

Why keep the cut shallow in traditional lino?

Essdee notes that deep upright walls can leave too little support beside the cut. Start shallow and inspect the raised edge.

When should I pick Style 1 instead?

Choose Style 1 for finer hatching. Style 3 is useful for a rounder channel with more pronounced sides.

What does the 2 mm figure describe?

It is the maker's example of a cut line. The material and depth affect your actual mark.
