email screens@handprinted

This transparent relief printing block is useful as you can simply place a drawing under the block instead of drawing/tracing the design onto the block or can be used to aid positioning when printing

and introduces techniques for printmakers on both paper and fabric

but still allows for fine cutting

Please note that these presses will now come with the new planetary drive for gearing instead of the spur gear with 2 cogs (see image)

EC Lyons Spitsticker Tool Size:# 5 email screens@handprintedEC Lyons makes high quality tools for wood engraving. These tools are made from high carbon tool steel. The tip of a Spitsticker is pointed, but the sides are curved. This makes it possible to draw long, fluid lines that twist and curve gracefully, tapering rather than ending in a flat or round edge (like lines drawn with a scroller). Used lightly, a spitsticker will score a thin line; the line will swell if the tool is engaged further into the wood.
