Here is a source for the linoleum: http://www.misterart.com/g98/Demco-Unmounted-Linoleum.htm It's cheaper unmounted, then we can use double sided tape to mount it to the piece of Plexiglas we originally had marked out for doing the letter pressing. here's an example of mounted linoleum: http://www.misterart.com/g1237/Jack-Richeson-Linoleum-Block.htm

there is also the faux linoleum.. it's not a bad price and supposed to be easier.. http://www.misterart.com/g8101/Scratch-Art-Scratch-Foam-Board.htm or we could get speedball rubber, which is more flimsy but supposedly easier to carve: http://www.misterart.com/g1524/Speedball-Speedy-Cut-Printing-Blocks.htm also more expensive...
