"What is an Original Print?" >>

Relief Printing

Linocut, wood cut and wood engraving are all forms of
Relief printing. As their name suggests, the image is created
by cutting away or carving marks out of the materials surface.
When inked with a hard roller, only the top surface of the block
will pick up ink while the marks which have been removed will
stay white. A print is then taken simply by placing paper on top
of the inked block and using a press to apply pressure.
