A special softoleum is available for school use. The basic idea is that you cut away those areas you wish to remain the color of the paper you are printing on. The images can be as simple or as detailed as you wish. It is possible to draw your idea out on paper first, then transfer the image onto the linoleum using carbon paper. Once the design has been carved into the lino, you are ready to print using a small amount of ink which is rolled onto the lino.
Paper is placed on the plate and rubbed lightly.
Repeat until you have an edition of prints. Always cut AWAY from yourself. When the prints are finished, put them up on the wall or lay them out on a table or floor. Look at the differences between each of the prints. Use of this site signifies your agreement to the terms of use.
