You are an excellent communicator-clear and well demonstrated. Best wishes. :-)
Wonderful tip! Thank you so much for the helpful insights on using low pressure and carefully rolling ink onto the block in one direction. I've sometimes been afraid to carve details so small because I was afraid they'd disappear.
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for a very useful video that isn’t 20 minutes long like many of them!
Thank you! Just the information I needed. Also I love the print! Beautiful work :)
Excelent video!
Wow so many great tips! Thank you.
Very useful. Thanks.
this was super insightful and helpful! I was definitely having some trouble with my paper shifting from me starting the pressing at the top. I was wondering when you go to ink the block again after printing how can you tell it has a good amount on it and I'm not over inking the block?
That's a good question, and a tough one to answer. It takes some time to get a feel for the proper amount of ink, but as a general rule, your second press needs less ink than your first. I tend to do one to one and a half coats for a second roll on a block like this one. On a more saturated block it would be a different story and would require more ink.
Thanks for the great video! So many helpful tips that will help for future blocks. Just curious about soaking paper and printing blocks. It seems like it's not necessary for Mulberry fibers and lighter but may be helpful with heavier weighted paper. Do you have any experience with this? Many thanks!
Soaking paper for relief prints is sometimes really helpful if you're working with heavy papers and are looking to get some really rich colours. My preference is to just dampen them instead of soaking (I use a spray bottle and blot) as I think soaking can be overkill. Don't do this with the light papers though! The fibers in them typically don't have the same binding agents and the papers will fall apart.
