Thanks so much for posting this! This worked perfectly for me on the first attempt.
I know some people mentioned having issues so here’s how I went about it on the off chance that it helps anyone:
I prepped my linoleum block by using the scouring pad side of a sponge, letting that dry. brushed on two thin coats of Mod Podge (matte), undiluted. Let that sit over night. When wiping away, I used the barely damp towel to moisten the paper all over before gently rubbing it away, kinda like how you’d do a temporary tattoo.
A thing I found helped is that if there’s some paper remaining you can make that see through by painting a thin layer of sunflower oil on it!
THANK YOU FOR THIS--This process is one of the most beautiful things I have seen.
Thank you so much! That's really nice to hear :)
The work you do is absolutely outstanding! I was mesmerized by the video where you print the crow. Please do more
Can't wait to see more of your videos! They're so fun to watch!
You can also place your photocopy face down and apply thinner to it with cotton wool, and then quickly run it through a press before it evaporates: the copy will be transferred to the lino and then drawn over again with marker pen. It can be a little tricky at first, though.
You'll need a laser printer for that though.
@@MaaritHanninen Or a Xerox copy.
Your work is beautiful and I am always thankful for good tutorials!
So nice to hear!
That's a great tip! And it can be used also on wood which makes a great gift
Thank you. Soo much simplified than other videos. Simple clear instructions 👍😁🍀🇨🇮
Im planning to try this out myself soon and this is just what I needed! Really appreciate it :)
Thank you very much, everyone says emulsion or some chemical no one cand find around or have the time to wait for it, wood glue! It was this simple all along!!!
Got the survey from yt to your video, gave it 5 stars, hope it will boost this
Thank you - Have always struggled to find a solution for this
This is such a great method! I'm excited to try it. Thank you!
This saved me SO much time... my assignment is due in the morning and now I won’t have to pull an all nighter ;v;
Thank you - this is beautiful! I have tried it twice but the first my image rubbed off almost completely when I wiped the lino. I tried leaving a little more paper residue on the second time but then my tools kind of slipped and got caught in some of the remaining paper. I'll try a third time and see if I get lucky...
Very nice, very inspiring. Thank you!
Kiitos, tätä juuri mietin, että miten tehdään.
Your work is amazing. I wanted to ask one thing, did you sketch this image or did you create it using digital techniques. And if digitally, could you please share your process ?
Okay, I am trying this right now for my planned linoprint. :)
Awesome! Hope it works out for you!
This was incredibly helpful, thank you.
That is so clever! I need to try this myself
Exactly what I needed to know, thank you!
My robot loves to draw you're welcome!
I'm trying it now.
Genial... una bella. Serigrafía.... me recuerda el estilo japonés
Huh, I've heard of this working with a laser printer, but not an inkjet. I'll have to try.
Thank you for sharing this method, seems much simpler than one demonstrated by David Bull! Do you know if laser printer will work?
Max Chavelev thank you! I haven't seen the one by David Bull, but since he's making traditional woodcuts, I'm assuming that his process is quite similar to this (I would say that this is the lino version of the traditional Japanese technique). In any case, I'm glad to hear you liked it. I have heard from others that it doesn't work well with laser printer, but here's a link to another technique that should work better czcams.com/video/RwmTYl9p9Jc/video.html
very nice vídeo, congratulations
But how do you carve it without ripping it off
Great work!
Thank you Natalia 😀
Thank you so much for providing these professionally produced videos. Have you tried this technique using acetate rather than paper to remove the need to rub the paper off?
great method! everything works well until i start cutting - then the paper starts to tear off.. would you suggest to buy laser sharp pfeil tools? maybe my tools aren't sharp enough :) congrats on your work & thank you for all the insights
That might be the solution. I also get that same problem from time to time, especially if there's too much paper left on the block. Sometimes the transfer comes out really clean, with barely any paper left, and that's when this technique is at its best. You can get really clean transfer with laser printer (you'll find a lot of videos about that on youtube).
Love your work
Iv had no luck unfortunately, every time I get to the point of scrubbing the paper off to reveal the design, the ink lines always get ripped and come off, not just abit either, I cant rub enough of the paper off to reveal the lines before it’s starts fading, I even left it to dry over night and the same thing still happen this morning..
That's a bummer. Try mixing less water with the ink, and use less water for removing the paper
this is genius
Hi, I would love to see more! If you would do tutorials i would love that. Do you have tips for beginners? And do you make the designs yourself? I really love this technique! Can you also use this to make prints on t-shirts? Have a lovely day.
Jonas Vanden Broecke thanks for the feedback Jonas! Yes, all my designs are my own, and it's also possible to print lino on fabric. We're planning to make more tutorials in the future (there are so many little tips and tricks that I would like to share), and hopefully I'll get the chance to cover them all on my channel in the future, but for now my number 1 tip would be to invest in good quality tools. They'll make the whole process much easier. I'd also recommend joining a super helpful and friendly Facebook group called Linocut Friends. You'll find the answes to all your questions there. I'm also going to post a new video soon, showing a slightly different lino printing process, so stay tuned for that too 😊
Well, thank you so much for this really nice reply! I can't wait to see more! I really love the designs. I hope maybe you'll get to the point you are going to sell your prints online just like obey. I think people would def pay money for your prints. You really have a talent for this. Have a lovely day and I will definitly stay tuned for your next videos. You have a new sub ;) take care
Great work!! I hope you enjoy my realistic multi-stamp too, Hello from JAPAN!!!
Thank you
I would love to buy this as a print from you, but I can't find it in your shop unfortunately.
Is there a chance you you will bring it back some day?
Just so beautiful
I should be able to print it for you. You can drop me an email for more info at hello@maarithanninen.com
how do you remove the wood glue after engraving ? I tried with a medium which works very well but which spoils the impression because not withdraw. thanks a lot
I wash it off with soap and warm water. Different mediums might require different cleaning methods.
Thank you for this! I was wondering, how long does the glue take to dry?
Might depend on the brand but I'd say wait at least couple of hours. If it feels cool to touch it's probably still wet. If you're using a hair dryer it takes only about 5 minutes.
@@MaaritHanninen i followed the directions well but think either the paper is too thick or something. as i was lightly rubbing the paper while wet, the ink and the glue came up together. may be my glue was too thick?
Thanks so much for sharing this transferring technique. Does this also work with pencil drawings maybe?
Thank youuuu youre the best
Aw thank you! You're the sweetest! ❤
What pencil are you using? Pencils are not listing in materials list.
I use a variety if different ones. Usually 2B
i tried this and it worked partially. in some areas even the print got peeled off.
Awesome video. Thanks very much for posting. Question, if I may...will any drawing pencil work for filling in the lines?
Thank you! Any drawing pencil should work. I like to use B2
Whisk it worked for me.
I was using ink-printer and alcohol to transfer image to lino
I wish I had a laser printer so that I could do that too...
can you explain how you do that? is it the same process but with alcohol and what type. and Maarit I have tried this method of yours but was told to do it with a laser printed piece?
@@jostandaar6922 we were using ink printer or Photocopying and then putting our design on lino, then we took sponge and was pressing it soaked with alcoholol (I don't remember what was it... maybe denaturated alcohol? Or clear alcohol?) and the design would smoothly transfer to lino. Of course we were using gloves. It was in high school (15 yrs ago) that's why I don't remember what kind of alcohol we were using.
@@raptorzysko thanks... I have tried the laser printer as that was recommended but it hasn't worked so well.. I am also not using traditional lino.. I am using a more modern lino as that is what I have... so will continue to experiment.
@@jostandaar6922 I have used acetone nail polish remover to transfer toner onto all types of blocks, including softcut. It worked better than alcohol for me.
BRAVO!
The wood glue you use ist not water-soluble, right?
I did this but when I started carving the paper went with is and so destroying the reference of where the lines were. ;( what did I do wrong?
Hi! Your video's are great to watch, very helpful :-) Just wondering, the glue that you use, could you tell me what glue this is exactly? The woodglue that I know of is white and this one looks transparent. Also, the type of linoleum you are using, is it the original linoleum with linseed oil? Just curious as because when I use that type of linoleum, the prints always come out a bit grainy. Thanks a lot!!
Grada-Marie Verschage yes, it's that same white wood glue/pva glue. It's white in color but maybe the water that I mix in makes it look a bit transparent? And the lino is the real stuff, made from linseed oil, and with hessian backing (also known as battleship grey linoleum). The graininess could be caused by many different things: too little ink, too little presdure/burnishing, using textured paper... Sanding the lino before carving might also help. Sometimes the ink needs to be pushed into the lino properly by printing a couple of test rounds. My first couple if prints are usually a bit grainy too but the third and fourth start looking better. Hope this helps! :)
Maarit Hänninen aahh good to know you mix it in water! Will try this out with the print I am working on. Thanks again 😃
Grada-Marie Verschage Yeah, just a tiny bit of water so it spreads easier. Good luck 😊
Has anyone tried this technique on the pink rubber speedy carve?
I haven't personally tried it but I've heard that it doesn't work on soft materials.
Great tutorial and clear website! I was wondering what kind of ink you use (or can can be used?) to transfer from your paper to your Lino block? Im looking for the easiest method. Thank you!
Thank you! In this video I used just regular printer paper.
Ilk türk takıpçinim sanırım!
Not sure if this is a silly question but will this work the same from a laser printer printout? Thanks for the very helpful video :)
Thanks! I've never tried it so I'm not sure
Will polycrylic work just as well as the wood glue?
I've never tried it but I think it's worth trying!
Does it have to be an ink jet or can it be laser printer?
Laser printer works even better. There are also easier methods to transfer with laser printers. I haven't made any videos on that yet
I have no wood glue, is it possible to substitute it for another type? Many thanks
Check the description below the video 😉
Thank you, spotted it after I’d posted.🥴
No worries 😄
What lamp do you use? -Moth.
😂
thank you really much for sharing this !
But how long do you wait until the glue dry ? minutes, hours ? cause my tries dont work...
If I use a hairdryer, it takes only 5 minutes or so. Otherwise at least for 2h, or even overnight. The drying time might vary depending on the brand you're using, so I'd suggest checking what the glue bottle says about it. And if the paper feels cool to touch, it's still wet. You'll also want the towel to be just barely wet so that the glue doesn't get drenched.
Maarit Hänninen
thank you for your answer !
I tried today with a new glue but still dont work... I wait till it’s dry but each time I start to softly scratch the paper with my wet rag everything go off and my lino appear clean
Do you have an idea where it can come from ?
PRVST this happens to me is I use too much water or pressure. You could even try lightly sanding the lino first.
@@MaaritHanninen i sanded. quite well but still no go
👍🏻
what is the brand of the glue? :/
I try 2 woodglue and it didn't worked
I can't remember the brand but any pva glue should work. You could also try mod podge or acrylic matte medium
Moi,
Tuohon kuvan siirtoon löytyy helpompikin keino, jos kiinnostaa.
Mua kiinnostaisi. Kerrotko? :) Löysin tällaisen: czcams.com/video/KgtXwMQvL24/video.html Tässä on käytössä lasertulostin mustesuihkun sijaan ja paperi on jotain pinnoitettua
@@suchlights2215 juu ainakin puulle voi siirtää lasertulosteen normaalilta paperilta helposti xyleenillä. Pienellä harjoituksella kuvista saa melko tarkkoja. Mun kanavalta löytyy video jossa teen puisen frisbeen. Siinä muistaakseni selitin tuon metodin.
Wood glue ? U stoles that technique from Japanese woodblock cutters
Has anybody done this on a rubber carving block?
