- Here's one way I transfer templates I've designed digitally onto a linocut block or sheet to then hand carve, and create a printing block with.
You will need access to a laser jet printer, and some Liquitex Matt Medium, a brush and your lino sheet.
Do you use a specific type of paper????
I have a problem each time that I use this method, the image transfers quite nicely, however when craving, the dry medium keeps being attached and pulls off and i loose the image (i don't know id I was clear enough)
You could try making the paper damp once the medium is dry just be quite gentle when rubbing the paper off. That’s how I do it on other surfaces but never tried it with the soft cut Lino.
What type of printer do you need to so that
you need to print your design using a laser jet printer, or a photocopying machine :) not the Ink Jet printers . give it a try :)
How long do you let it dry for?
It dries up fully within a couple of hours, so a little tip would be to prep your Lino a day before you plan to start carving
How long do you let is try for?
It takes a couple hours , you can leave it in the sun or use a hair dryer to make it quicker
