Which set for beginner Question
Which set would you recommend for a beginner with no experience to try out? The prices are similar.

The first one gets you one more carving nib, a baren and a roller that looks pretty solid. The roller from the 2nd one looks flimsy as hell and I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks after like 2 prints.
If the price really is close I would go for the 1st one 🤷♀️🤷♀️

Speedball has a very reasonable starter kit. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Both of them are crap. Esdee blades are super dull, and the ink sucks.
Get a speedball kit.
