HOW TO REGISTER A LINO-CUT PRINT (line-up your prints so they are straight and centered) - 3 WAYS

In this video I will show you 3 different ways that I commonly register my lino-cuts. Registration is all about lining up the lino-cut carving with the paper so it prints in the position that you want it to! I hope you enjoy watching the video and please consider subscribing to my channel! If you've been here before, thank you so much for coming back!
Here is a link to my shop where you can find all of the prints seen in this video: www.etsy.com/shop/EHollingsheadArtwork

How do you avoid getting ink onto the large non-printing areas, such as her neck in the face block? And what do you do if you do get ink there? It seems as if there is a large rush of accidentally getting in on the final print in areas where you didn't want it to be.

[@ehollingsheadart]

This is a great question and one I'll have to demonsrate in another video! It depends on a few things - the large carved away areas can sometimes pick up ink when you roll it onto the carving...sometimes this is fixed by simply carving a bit more of that area away to remove raised bits. Sometimes it's as easy as just using a different brayer (a larger one that won't accidentally dip down into those large areas). Sometimes printmakers will make a paper template that they place over the inked carving to block areas that pick up ink that they are trying to keep clean, and they place it down every time they print between the block and their paper. Sometimes some printmakers take a rag and wipe these areas between each inking and pressing!

[@amypalmer7005]

Helps do much thanks! I cant find them pins for registration anywhere, not even Amazon :/

[@ehollingsheadart]

You need to order them from the Ternes Burton website! They are only sold by the company that makes them, and some art supply stores :) Their website is www.ternesburton.com

[@ehollingsheadart]

Also thank you! So glad you found it helpful :) the pins are very affordable as well!

[@MaryScowen]

This was really helpful thank you. Are you using oil ink or block ink? When I double up with oil it's not drying?

[@ehollingsheadart]

Glad you found it helpful!! I am using water based inks here but often use oil based inks too! I mix my oil based inks with an extender, around a 1:1 ratio, which helps them dry faster. But typically it can take months for oil based inks to dry, which is completely normal but also a huge pain in the butt haha

[@clarenscourtois8927]

Can we print one pass gray/dark blue, add colors with paint markers or other, then last pass with the black?🙏

[@ehollingsheadart]

Hey! Responded to your other comment on my other video! Hope it helps :)
