Speedball - Speedy-Cut Easy Blocks
Carve intricate designs safely with this soft, eraser-like block
Soft, eraser-like material carves with minimal resistance, letting you focus on design rather than wrestling with your blade. Speedball engineered these blocks specifically for relief printmaking without the arm fatigue and tool slippage that traditional linoleum causes. The 3/8-inch thickness provides enough depth for confident cuts while remaining light enough for comfortable handling during extended carving sessions.
Blades glide through cleanly whether you're cutting broad background areas or refining intricate details. This responsive material shows you exactly where your tool is going, reducing the guesswork that leads to slipped cuts and unintended marks. Students developing their first prints and experienced printmakers sketching quick ideas both benefit from how quickly these blocks translate design into carved reality.
The material works beautifully for both traditional relief printing and custom stamp creation. Print editions with consistent results, or carve personalized stamps for fabric, paper, and mixed media projects. Speedy-Cut blocks eliminate the intimidation factor of harder carving materials without sacrificing the crisp edges and clean lines that make relief printing compelling.
