Using
Various materials are suitable as substrates for linoprinting. In addition to smooth paper and coloured cardboard, felt or fabric can also be printed among other materials.
In addition to the linoprinting technique with a specialized press, preferred by many experienced artists there is also the option of stamp making. For example, the linoleum plate or a carved rubber plate can be used like a stamp. Woodcuts are also suitable for this method. In all techniques the linoprint colour is thinly rolled out on a glass plate and then applied thinly to the printing block with a linoleum roller. The design is transferred to the printing surface by pressing it evenly and calmly.
