Lino Printing

Notes on Lino Printing...

1. Take one piece of lino and copy the design on to it (to do this quickly and easily, go over the design in pencil, turn it face down on to the lino and rub it straight on).
2. Use a chisel to cut out the design, this can be quite time consuming and it is important to take care and not cut towards yourself.
3. Once happy with the design, ink the sheet of lino with a roller (using a small amount of ink, no bigger than a 10p piece).
4. Now place the lino ink face down on to whatever it is you wish to print on (paper, fabric etc...) on to the press, cover with paper and felt layers, roll under the press and pull the leaver three times to print the design.
5. The design will come out negative, as the design itself will not print because it was cut out.
