Letterpress Printers Block With Leather

[stampingdelight]

Hi

Can one use a letterpress printers block on leather, that will come out clearly.  If one can use how does one use correctly so does not crack the metal block plate?

Yes you can use them. I have a few I have used for a single project. I have found the ones that are backed with wood tend to break. I use a small arbor press from Harbor Freight.

what harbor freight press do you use?  and any tips to help from cracking, if wanting to used those backed by wood?
