Description
The lino block is a printing medium made of softcut lino. It has a smooth surface and a soft texture, making it easy to cut and print. The lino is cut using special lino cutters or a knife, and then inked up with a roller (known as a brayer). This creates a positive image when printed onto paper or fabric.
The smooth surface and soft texture of the SoftCut lino sheets
makes cutting easy: blades will glide through with minimal effort.
SoftCut prints well onto a range of surfaces including paper, card
and fabric. It can even print onto curved surfaces due to its
flexibility. The surface of the lino is cut away using special lino
cutters or a knife to form the basis of the lino print. The block
is inked up with a roller (known as a brayer) and this creates a
positive image when printed onto paper or fabric. The printing
process can be done by hand or with a press. You can use
water-based lino ink, oil-based lino ink, or a block printing
medium mixed with paint.
