This Daler-Rowney Adigraf Block Printing Lino Plate is designed for printmakers seeking high-quality, durable material for detailed work. Its key benefit is the ability to achieve finer prints, especially when used with Adigraf tools. A caveat to consider is its harder nature, which makes it best suited for specific cutters.

The main advantage is its high-quality, durable linoleum that allows for finer, more detailed prints compared to softer materials.
It is suitable for beginners who are comfortable with carving techniques. However, its harder nature might be more challenging than softer alternatives if you are completely new to linocutting.
This specific Extra Large plate measures 30 x 48cm.
While other tools can be used, Adigraf cutters and tools are recommended as they are designed to work optimally with the hardness of this Adigraf plate.
Clean off ink residue with a soft cloth. A printmaking solvent can be used if necessary. Ensure the plate is dry before storing.
FSC certified means the material comes from forests that are managed responsibly, ensuring environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
Yes, Daler-Rowney offers Adigraf plates in a range of sizes, including smaller options like 24 x 15cm.
Ensure you are using sharp Adigraf cutters designed for linoleum. If using other tools, they may need to be sharpened more frequently. Apply consistent, firm pressure rather than forcing the tool.
Check that your carving depth is sufficient for the ink to not reach the raised areas. Ensure you have applied ink evenly to the plate surface. Experiment with different paper types and printing pressures.
Store the plate flat in a cool, dry place. If minor warping occurs, you can try placing it under heavy, flat objects (like books) for a period, ensuring it's completely flat.
Setup: The Adigraf lino plate requires no complex setup. It is ready to be carved directly upon receiving it. Ensure your workspace is clean and well-lit before beginning.
Compatibility: This plate is specifically designed to work best with Adigraf cutters and tools due to its hardness. While other tools *may* be used, Adigraf tools are recommended for optimal performance and longevity of both the tools and the plate. It is compatible with standard block printing inks and papers.
Care: To care for your lino plate, clean off any residual ink immediately after use with a soft cloth and appropriate printmaking solvent if necessary. Store the plate flat in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent warping or damage. Avoid excessive moisture.
