 Step-by-step guide on block printing (On Paper):

Linocut, also known as lino print, linoleum block print, or linoleum art, is a printmaking technique in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for a relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a special roller called a brayer, and then impressed onto paper or fabric. As a result, you’re left with a custom paper print.

If you’re new to print making or would like to know more about the process, continue reading below and we will instruct you through your lino print making experience. Not only will you create something beautiful, but also you’re bound to enjoy the undoubtedly methodical and meditative artistic process that is lino cut carving.

Let’s Get Started.

  1. Prepare Your Design: First, you’ll start by creating or selecting a design that you want to transfer onto your block. You can draw your design directly on the block or transfer it using tracing paper.
  2. Carve the Block: Now that your design is ready, you’ll carefully carve away the space on a linoleum block, using the carving tools of your choice. It’s important to remember to carve away the areas that you do not want to be printed, leaving the raised areas to become your design.
  3. Ink the Block: Next, you will apply block printing ink evenly onto the surface of your carved block. You can use a brayer (roller) to ensure a smooth and even layer of ink.
  4. Prepare the Paper: Cut the Speedball paper to the desired size if needed.
  5. Position the Paper: Carefully place the paper over the inked block. Ensure that it is aligned correctly if you are aiming for precise placement.
  6. Transfer the Image: Press your paper onto the block firmly, using a baren for an even ink transfer.
  7. Lift the Paper: Gently peel the paper away from the block. Be careful not to smudge the print. Allow the print to dry completely on a flat surface.
  8. Clean Up: Lastly, you’ll want to clean your block and tools immediately after printing, otherwise the ink will become dry and difficult to remove.
  9. Sharpen your tools: Eventually, you will need to sharpen your tools. This does not need to be done after each use, but only as needed when you notice they are getting dull. You can sharpen them using the slip strop provided in this Lino Block Printing Deluxe Starter Kit!
