Questions we get asked

Which lino cutting blade should I use?

A V-shaped blade for fine lines and outlines, a narrow U-shaped blade for detail and texture, and a wide U-shaped blade for clearing larger areas. Our set has a V blade, U blades in 2mm, 3mm and 4mm, and a cutting knife. For a fuller explanation of each nib and when to use it, see our guide to the five lino cutting nibs.

What is a brayer?

A rubber roller that spreads ink in a thin, even layer, first on the inking tray and then across your block. Choose one close to the width of your block, so you can cover it in fewer passes.

What is a baren used for?

Printing by hand without a press. Lay the paper on the inked block and rub the baren over the back in firm circles, covering every area so the whole design prints evenly.

What is a bench hook?

A board that hooks over the edge of your table and holds the lino still while you cut. It keeps your free hand behind the blade, so you can cut away from yourself safely.
