Block printing is an art form where the artist carves a block (most commonly vinyl or rubber) and uses ink to press the image as a print. The supplies needed for this are the block to carve, a carving tool, a roller for ink application, ink, paper or material for the image. A smooth, flat surface is needed to roll out the ink as well; a small sheet of glass or plexiglass works well for this.<|im_end|>
