Cutting a design into lino.
Inking up - mixing up oil based ink and rolling it onto the lino before printing. Often very thin transparent ink colours re used.
The caustic etch lino design has been printed on my press. My press is an old Enjay that was at the Art department at Underdale Campus, Adelaide, South Australia. This image shows me lifting the new image off the lino block.
