Gritty Savvy Soap, 1 Gallon

Oops. We ordered smooth Savvy Soap and got the gritty kind instead. The only difference between the two is the grit. Otherwise it is the same biodegradable, incredibly effective soap. Grit can rough up your skin but some people prefer it because they think it gets the ink and dirt off faster. If you are one of that group, now is your chance to get a gallon at a great price!

Experimental Mounted Linoleum Blocks

We have been developing mounted linoleum blocks using ArtPrint Linoleum. These are the experiments that did not work out. They will carve and print just fine, but they are either left over scraps that were not large enough to make into finished blocks or they were painted with waterproof black india ink.
If you like, you can hand-sand the painted blocks to remove most if not all of the black india ink but it really is not necessary. We hand-sanded one half of a painted block, printed the whole block on a press with oil-based ink and we could not see any difference between the painted and sanded halves.
We are selling these mounted blocks for the same price as our unmounted ArtPrint Linoleum. You may get grey, black or a mix of blocks. It will depend on what is available in the size that you order.
Mounted ArtPrint Linoleum with routed edges will be available by the end of November, 2009.

Portland Linocut Blocks

These are the last of the original Portland Linocut Blocks made with battleship linoleum. Battleship linoleum is very hard and most carvers heat the block either by shining an incandescent light on it or placing it in a warm oven before trying to carve it. Battleship linoleum is no longer being made. The closest linoleum now available is ArtPrint Linoleum.
We can cut these blocks into smaller sizes for you, however most of the routed edges will be lost. The price is $0.50 per cut.

Unmounted Linoleum Blocks (old material)

Imported from Germany, this linoleum is softer than battleship so it is easier to carve. Carbon paper or pencil marks show up very well on the smooth, light gray surface.
The thickness of the linoleum is 1/16" or 2mm.
We have replaced this linoleum with ArtPrint Linoleum which is made specifically for printmaking.

Contact Frames (discontinued)
NOT for Solarplates, the pressure from the pressure bars was uneven and deformed the soft photopolymer. But if you are a photographer (or know a photographer), this is a great price for a beautifully made Contact Frame.
