So helpful! I learned how to print 10 years ago and tried making holiday cards after having not printed for those 10 years. It did not go great at first. This video was so helpful in reminding me exactly how to do everything. Thank you for taking the time to make this and for being so detailed!
Thank you for the video. I usually use oil based ink but I will consider using water based, it’s easier to cleanup later. This video really help explained bout the AP and how to write the proper information bout the prints and also the registration mark. Thank you 😊
that is a great video...i liked the rainbow roll especially...i just got into lino carving and printing, knowing myself though, id have went left and right with the two colors. also a fun thing to do is to put a paper on top of the lino block and take some colored pencils or oil pastels and take a rubbing proof of the block, its a whole art piece itself. thanks for the video.
Glad you liked it! I plan to do collographs this year and have students use crayons to create a print, since we are remote and cant send ink home! Happy printing! :)
Hi! I’m new to ink printing and this video helped me see the problem in my technique. I believe I was over inking my plate and brayer. Thanks for the tips! Also, what ink are you using in this video?
Thanks, glad it could help! I use Speedball water soluble block printing inks, as they are affordable and easy to clean up in a classroom setting. www.speedballart.com/our-product-lines/speedball-printmaking/speedball-blockrelief-printing/speedball-block-printing-inks/speedball-water-soluble-block-printing-inks/ I usually order from Blick or Sax Arts. I have alsonused Sax True Flow Block Printing inks. :) Happy Printing!
have a question. Can link printing be done on medium duck canvas and be archival? Should the canvas be primed with acrylic gesso? I have seen people use Lino block print for making handbags etc but not really seen in art. Also can India ink be used on a gessoes canvas or must the canvas be ungessoed. Your response and time is appreciated.
Yes, you can print on fabric, you just need permanent ink! And the canvas shouldn't be super textured, like a canvas tote bag works, because they are kind of smooth.

What brand ink are you using? Tx.
I believe it is Sax True Flow Water Soluble Block Printing Ink, from the SaxArts catalog, but Blick and Speedball also make great block printing inks.
