Printing two companion Lino blocks (Bird & Koi)

These are my companion pieces "Over the Persimmon Tree" and "Underneath the Lily Pads"
I use Forbo grey linoleum and Caligo Safe wash ink from Cranfield colours.
I find that some inks (like the Sepia I've used here) are less workable than others, so I added a dollop of tack reducer (also from Cranfield).
The paper I used for these prints is Japanese Okawara from Awagami. This is a very light paper, slighty off-white. Thin papers like this pick up the details from the block very easily.
The brayer (roller) is a Japanese soft rubber brayer
The press is from @theportableprintingpressco.
