Gomuban Relief Printing Plates
This soft, very easy to carve synthetic rubber plate is used extensively in Japanese classrooms as a relief printing block.
Compared to white eraser material (Speedy Cut or MasterCarve) Gomuban is just as easy to carve but it is stiffer so it holds very fine details and crisp edges even under pressure from a press. It is so dense that it can be printed either as an intaglio or as a relief print.
Draw directly on Gomuban with permanent markers or transfer images with carbon paper. We have tested our Red Carbon Paper and it transfers well but it can be rubbed off with hard pressure, so you need to be careful as you are carving.
Green on one side, blue on the other and black in the center, Gomuban can be printed on either side.
*Currently out of stock. More Gomuban is scheduled to arrive in September. If you place an order for Gomuban, it will be placed on backorder and shipped as soon as possible. You will not be charged until we ship and there is no additional shipping charged on backorders. Thank you for your patience.
