I don't know if you're aware, or if others are, but I'd like to give some info from a picture framing perspective. When I look at your nice print I see a potential problem if a person wants to frame it. Any print of value should have a mat used so glass doesn't sit on the paper, and with that in mind, there are three options to frame this.
Either as close to the edge to preserve the white border, but this is dicey because you can end up having the print come out from the edge of the mat, and also, likely a person will want more white than can be given.
Second option is to actually come in with the mat and lose the white altogether, but then this would encroach on the print. This method is used a lot, but I believe it would be a poor choice for the look of the print.
Third is to float the image, using archival tape underneath, but then the tape may be visible, depending on the thickness of the paper. Also tape will often loosen over time. If the print has no intrinsic value it could be dry mounted onto some mat board and then it would be secure in place, and it would be safe to have the mat a distance away from the edge of the paper. If no value, this is probably the ideal solution. Also if the print has no value you could place the glass right on it, but you risk moisture getting in and sticking the paper to the glass.
So for printers looking out for their buyers, the best solution would be to make the paper large enough for the white border to be say....3/4 of an inch to 1 inch, of course more is fine. That also leaves room for the artist to sign and number the print, and for it to be viewable after framing. I hope this info is useful for printers. :)
This website gives a couple of examples so people can see what I am talking about www.levelframes.com/blog/ways-to-float-your-artwork
a lot of interesting points you make, thank you for sharing your expertise with us! (and sorry for the slow reply 😅 )
That is such a stunning design! I can see a woman, plants, insects and birds depending on how I look at it. Bravo, Emil!
Many thanks, im glad you like it!

awesome vide. I need to get myself nice brush with a tray 6:33 . :)
haha thank you!
I got lost in a carving last night a 4 hour trance you could say :D carving an eight legged horse I'd sketched. awesome video your small detail tool looks very deep looks useful I think I need an upgrade.
That is awesome! i hope the print is going to turn out nice!
Beautiful work. What do you use to get the design on the lino
thank you! you can see how i transfer my designs to lino in this video czcams.com/video/EmKVw72mm5Q/video.html
What was the paper you used at the very beginning please, is it like carbon paper? I love lino printing but i find it incredibly hard to work out what needs to be black and what needs to be white. I will never ever improve, unless i can get better this. So basic but so difficult with a complicated picture.
Hey, I think they shared this technique in their earlier video 'linocut tutorial - how to transfer any drawing to lino', around the 7 min mark-- using some sort of label release paper & acrylic transparent paint medium? I have yet to try it myself but hope to soon, because I have the same issue you do! I love these videos. :-)
@@katiew4156 Thankyou so much, i'm very grateful.
hi, exactly what katie wrote, i have a tutorial video showing how i transfer my designs to lino. it's very precise and scalable, i've been using it for all my prints for a couple of years now
