Transcript of Lino print process
Do this as long as it takes to spread out the ink. Keep up this circular motion
(top bottom lift top bottom lift…)so the ink is spread evenly on the brayer as well as the slab.
It’s important to get just the right amount of ink. Keep adding “dabs” of
ink until you have it right.
Leave the line of ink at the top of the slab. Use this ink when you start to run out of ink instead of adding another
“dab” of ink from the tube.
Keep applying ink until the entire surface is coated with with one color of ink. The ink should crackle.
You shouldn’t be able to see through the ink. The ink shouldn’t be ropey. This is called a base coat.
