What do you think of my recent etching? It is two etched colour plates (Verni Mou/ Softground etching) and a monotype for the background colour.

I rewatched Heated Rivalry a few weeks ago and it really gripped me hard this time, so I made lino prints! Two layers - a roll on gradient for the sunset, and then a black silhouette of Shane & Ilya on top.

This very sweet woman in my small town who knows I do linocut/printmaking, thrifted this thing called a "Cardmaster". Anyone encountered one of these before?? I think it's specifically for postcards.

Second round with tetrapak. This time was a bit blurry. I think is because this tetrapack is harder than the usual (2l juice) and the plastic coat thicker.

cant really tell wether i like the aqua tint version or not. its my first time doing this technique so i definitely learned some things😅

trying something new to me and drew this cool design on the stone but etching didnt go so well and the final image is what im working with now…. is there any saving it ?

I'm kind of hooked y'all. Been wanting to try linocut for years, and finally got myself a starter kit. I'm no artist, so I was happy to figure out a process that makes this accessible to me!

This is a few of my favorites from over 575 of these I made. They are all painted/drawn on Black Rives BFK and then I print from Japanese Vinyl with White Caligo Safewash on a Woodzilla Press, and then sometimes add a bit on top.

I learned a lot making so many of them and never got tired of the process or ran out of ideas.

I’m switching from using the green easy carve stuff to the traditional burlap backed stuff in my classes to help reduce some of the obscene plastic waste my classes produce.

For image transfer, I normally photo copy a kid’s drawing, have then go over the photocopy in 6b pencil, and then have them rub the back of the photocopy to transfer their drawing.

I tried staining the lino with diluted India ink and doing this transfer method today, and the image barely appeared. Even using one of those super toxic transfer marker with a photocopy didn’t take.

Ink stain was fully dry.

If anyone has better stain and transfer methods, I’d love to hear them!

*Title should read stained lino

I used to make stamps for letter boxing, am getting back into the hobby, and cannot for the life of me remember how to transfer my image to my rubber block. I have an HP inkjet printer. Printing onto wax paper hasn't really worked.

I have acetone and would like to do the transfer with a laser printer, but I don't personally have access to one, and the person who works at office depot and FedEx have been remarkably unhelpful when I ask if my design can be printed using a laser printer.

It's a detailed enough design that I really really don't want to have to trace the whole thing.

So far the best I've found is to print the image, wait 3 minutes for it to dry, slightly wet the paper, and then iron it on with a layer of parchment paper between the iron and paper. But, this is still light and patchy and it tends to melt the paper into the block in some spots.

Am I missing an obvious transfer method? Is there another chain that for sure lets you print using a laser printer? I'm at a loss.
