citylights97 we do that in art class

Heat packs such hot water bottles or wheat packs work well as well

Wow!! Thank you so much. I got so frustrated I gave up on it!

Great tip! Beginner here ✨

Thanks you 😁

Dont make our mistakes, after designing great logos for our surfboards we photo stated our designs onto fine tissue paper or rice paper( hard to find). and glassed them under the 6 onz fibreglass cloth. they came out great considering they were carbon stats copied on our local library stat machine. However different stat copier machines are not always maintained properly so some of our logos spread the carbon due to the chemical reaction of the mek hardner in the resin and the logo carbon and the beautiful surfboard and all the processed work got ruined on lamination. No choice but to paint over it and try again. so if you do stat try different copiers around town and label them. Heat is supposed to fuse the carbon and dry it. rubbing testing with your fingers on the carbon is not going to solve it. its trial and error. if you use fixative to fix it permanently it may close the tissue and block the resin from saturating the paper and form air bubbles in the lamination I'm experiment with this. In printing there is a thing in lithography called "packing" which is extra small areas of fine paper backing the art sheet youre hand printing on to give a good solid print. The packing paper is placed in the areas not printing well definitely help the final print. you can tear a little piece or pieces or a whole sheet backing "packing" If printing onto fine tissue paper for logos and gifts etc use a full backing sheet to absorb excess ink saturating through the first tissue. a master printer knows all about packing, its an art . they use it a lot in unforgiving lithography metal printing of deodorant , motor oil and cake tins/ metal tin sheet production, unlike paper and card tin plate, doesn't absorb ink. here there is a lot of step and repeat printing which you can do with lino cuts as well.

You could always frame a carved block! I do like the block better than the print sometimes too lmao

Wonderful!

Haha.

Yes we know you gilbert youre the Boston strangler when youre not lino cutting well done.....

It's possible to get fine detail (I'm not sure about the exact line width you mentioned), but most people don't spend the time or effort doing that. I'm not really sure if there are tools made that thin.

Hahahaaa

Trimere I kept repeating this while he was talking. 😆

Aren't Gelli prints usually mono prints? This way you can make as many as you want... say you were doing a bunch of greeting cards. You could use this lino cut to print onto your gelli after layering paint on the gelli, waiting till all layers were dry and then lifting it onto paper. Your background colors would be different with each print, but your flowers (from the lino cut) would be the same.

The Riven Main charcoal paper works too..that's what i use

Jacklyn Mackie same here

Nailea Large I was wondering this two. I'm guessing lino isn't affected by water, so a damp rag probably? Or just rubbing water over it?

Yes the block can be used again and again - provided you are not using the block for a reduction print - which is a whole other thing.

He's using a linolium block, it's a mix of ground cork dust, linseed oil and other wooden materials.

Then do it backwards 😂

Scan and print in a reverse image.

I've also used a light box.

+The Gabbie show's pikachu I think it's a computerised voice..certainly sound like it..

glass house my maths teacher also pronounces it like that.

+glass house it's just his accent, bit of a southern American accent. it's not Computerised :-) I'm one of his virtual students and he always sounds like that as it's his accent.plus he has to be nice and clear when he is doing his instructional video lessons, he has virtual students all over the world. :-) he is an awesome teacher!!!

Christine Robinson thank you so much. I appreciate that.

No problem :-)
