  • When printing could you use a roller like you would for lino printing?

  • @NouvistOtaku yes (you can see the roller in practical use at 2:36 in the movie)

  • What if you want to do more prints right after the first one? Do you re-apply the ink for each new image or the first cover of ink it will last for, let's say, 5 or more prints? Thanks in advance.

  • @stalkingmeat

    to re-apply (but not that much ink as the first time) is a good strategy

  • Very nice, from your accent I guess you speak german? Danke das du die Schritte gezeigt hast. Ich hab nur eine frage, nach dem Zeichnen (Drawing) was machst du genau um "the image transfer" hinzubekommen? ist das ein extra papier?

  • @usrnamedenied Hallo. Also: der Druckstock wird etwas mit Seife eingerieben, dann die Bleistiftzeichnung (kein extra Papier) mit einem harten Gegenstand abgerieben, sodass sie seitenverkehrt auf dem Druckstock ist - und beim Drucken wieder ein seitenrichtiges Bild erzeugt ...

see all

  • What is the tool or jig that you are using in the cutting section of the video; 45 degrees-sixty degree angle I am guessing. Thanks for the video the jig is really smart.

  • well done.
