Wooden Printing Plates

The Wooden Veneer Plate is specially manufactured in Japan for wood block (relief) printing applications. This 3 ply timber features two 0.5mm smooth timber surfaces of uniform grain and quality (for easy engraving), laminated to a 2.0mm core to produce a 3mm thick plate which does not warp, expand or contract.  Produces a beautiful print. 

Japanese Wood Blocks are solid timber woodblocks from Japan featuring a silky smooth, machined printing surface (both sides) which gives excellent definition when printed. This soft, uniform quality timber is easy to engrave and has the least expansion and contraction of the natural woodblocks. Plates are 10mm thick.
