I got a speedball kit for carving linoleum blocks, and wanted to look at more printing techniques, but this looks hard and expensive. Is there a D.I.Y. solution, or a starter kit for hobbyist available that you could recommend.

Nice. I just love a piece of used tarlatan... with just the right amount of ink, and the starch already "broken". Thanks.
