Editor's Notes
- #3: Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum, is used for the relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a press.Advantages: You can use it as many times you want in different colours.Lino Cutting production is unique.Lino Cutting production is creative. Unlike offset lithography you can only make few copies using linocut technique Disadvantages: Lino Cutting production is time consuming You can hurt yourself while cutting Something could go wrong
- #4: Trace the image onto the tracing paper so then it will be easier to transfer the image onto the lino.
- #5: 2. Go over the limes pressing the pencil hard when tracing the image on to the lino, to prevent your tracing paper from moving stick the tracing paper on the lino with tape.
- #6: 3. The next step is to cut out the lines on the lino carefully with a lino cutter. get a plastic sheet, ink on it and get a roller. roll the ink onto it and then roll the ink onto the lino, after that get a clean sheet of paper and put it on to the lino carefully and gently not to mess it up. Use a metal or a wooden spoon to press the paper on to the lino so the image is transferred properly.
- #8: A process used for printing on a flat surface, using printing plates. An image is transferred to a printing plate, The plate is chemically treated so that only image areas will accept ink. Water and ink is applied to the plate. Because of the chemical treatment, ink only "sticks" to the image areas, which reject the water. Areas without images reject the ink. The plate is rolled onto a rubber cylinder applying the inked area, and in turn the rubber cylinder applies the image to the paper.
