The Daler Rowney Adigraf Block Printing Lino Plate (A4) is designed for artists, students, and printmaking enthusiasts who require a reliable surface for detailed relief printing. Its primary benefit is a high-density, durable composition that allows for precise, intricate cutting, ensuring clean impressions on paper or fabric. While it offers excellent consistency, users should note that the firmer surface requires sharp, high-quality cutters to achieve the best results without excessive physical strain.

Yes, both sides of the Daler Rowney Adigraf plate are designed for carving, effectively doubling your printing surface.
No priming is necessary. You can draw your design directly onto the plate using a pencil or permanent marker.
It is safe, but because it requires sharp tools, adult supervision is recommended for younger users.
Yes, the density of this lino plate makes it durable enough to withstand the pressure of an etching press.
It is compatible with both water-soluble and oil-based block printing inks.
Ensure your gouges are freshly sharpened and consider gently warming the lino plate to soften it.
Clean the plate with a mild degreaser and ensure your brayer is applying an even, thin layer of ink.
Store the plate horizontally under a heavy, flat object to maintain its shape.
To prepare your Daler Rowney Adigraf plate, ensure the surface is clean and free of dust before starting your design. For the best compatibility, use Daler Rowney Adigraf cutters or professional-grade lino gouges. Always carve away from your body and keep your tools sharp; a dull tool will cause the lino to chip rather than glide. After printing, clean the plate immediately with warm soapy water (for water-based inks) or a dedicated lino cleaner (for oil-based inks) to prevent ink buildup. Store the plate flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from becoming brittle.
