- Tutorial on making a lino block for relief printing. This video shows the process of transferring your design to the block and cutting it, followed by creating a first proof print.
Here's the link to the cutting tools I use. I have long since lost the packaging but believe I have 12/1, 9/2 and 9/5.

Best video for beginners I’ve found, thank you.
You’re welcome!
As a newcomer to lino printing, I can't tell you how informative this tutorial was - regardless of current skill level. Really enjoyed the evolution of your process and the final result. Many thanks, Lou. Look forward to seeing more of your videos 👍
Thank you, I'm really glad it was helpful, enjoy your printing!
Thank you for a well paced, informative and easy to follow video. I have subscribed and am looking forward to watching more. Thanks again from New Zealand.
Thank you so much!
I’m just staring out with Lino cutting/printing. This has been so useful……thank you
You’re welcome, thank you
I just started out Lino printing and it is really absorbing. I think I need to invest in the Pfeil fine tool as I need some really fine detail. The first test print I did I had forgot to reverse the tracing and so I did all the cutting out for nothing. I wish I'd seen this video beforehand. The tips are really useful in this tutorial, thank you Louise.
I think reversing your print is a rite of passage for printmakers! I’ve done it before too.
Freesia and forsythia for feb ? Thanks for this excellent primer. I feel ready now..
I just started block printing and IM OBSESSED!! Its so relaxing and motivating. Love it. I used the rubber blocks, but I'm thinking of investing in the lino roll. I would like to do bigger designs :)
I'm glad you're enjoying it, it's very satisfying! I like the lino but each has their own merits.
It is quite pretty, thanks for the tutorial.
Hi Lou I really love your channel, you are so talented. I would love to do some printing but unfortunately I am artistic at all but I am hoping to pick up a few tips. You have a wonderfully soothing voice and really explain everything so well. Thank you for sharing your fabulous talent and expertise. Big hugs and loves xxxxxx Dorothy U.K. 🌟🙋🏻❤️
Thank you so much, that’s made my day :)
Amazing
Very interesting Lou......
This is such a nice video. I have arthritis in my thumbs, but I've always admired block printing. Thank you for mentioning the softer lino block. May I ask for details on the kind of brush pen and the white inky pen you use? Thank you for sharing your techniques so generously
Thank you :) the brush pen is by Pentel and the white pen is by Posca.
Great tutorial! What side of the soft cut do I cut? The smooth side or the rough? Or can I use both?
It appears that the carbon paper transfers better on the rough side, but I’ve already drawn the design on the smooth side…I’m confused.
I think you can use either side. A quick google suggests that - but also says the Matt side aids grip so if you were carving the smooth side that would stop it moving around. I’d maybe do some tests with your ink and paper combo if you have any offcuts to spare and see which you prefer.
For the gray soft cut, which side is the one we carve on. Is it the shiny side or the rough one?
I've always used the shiny side but I believe you can use both - I'd check the manufacturer's website - they often have more information.
Hi Lou, I'm beginner to stamp carving, but I don't understand the exact difference between lino print and rubber stamp, do they serve the same purpose in the end? What I know that lino board material is harder than rubber.
Hi, I've not made stamps but I think the process for carving them is pretty much the same, I think stamps are usually smaller and, yes, the material is softer and easier to cut.
@@LouDavis Okay thank you. 😊
Why use a spoon for the print? Wouldn’t a roller be better?
You can get more pressure with a spoon when printing by hand. My results using rollers have always been patchy and disappointing and I get much better even prints using a spoon. However, it's good to experiment and you might want to try and see what gives you the best results.
