Yeah I know, really boring but so vital for printmakers. I’ve been printing up a simple one-colour linocut with chine collé as a small edition so the registration is fairly simple.
After you’ve cut your printmaking paper to size for your edition, use one of the sheets as a guide to draw it out onto a sheet of ordinary white paper.
Then place your block where you want it positioned on your final print and draw around that.
Finally, stick it onto your work surface with a bit of masking tape AND THEN…
Cover it with a sheet of thin but sturdy plastic / acetate – I used one of those clear PVC covers you get with comb binding machines but any thin sheet of smooth, clear plastic will do. Stick it down with a couple of pieces of masking tape.
Ready to print…
