When to choose it

Choose this kit for a first paper edition when you want the lino and paper sizes already paired. It supplies three unmounted 5 × 7-inch sheets and fifty 6 × 9-inch sheets of 88-pound printmaking paper. The larger paper leaves room for a border around the block.

The kit includes a Lino Grip pad, four-inch roller and a cutter handle with six blades. Plan a separate ink purchase because the listed contents do not include it. If you want several ink colors in the box, compare the Deluxe Speedball paper kit.

Questions about this product

How much space is there around the block on the supplied paper?

The paper is one inch wider and two inches longer than the lino. Centering it divides that difference between opposite edges.

What is the grip pad for?

Use it as support to reduce movement under the lino while you work. The supplied sheets themselves have no rigid mount.

Would this cover a project that needs several ink colors?

Choose the inks separately. Compare a kit that supplies them if you prefer a ready-made paper palette.
