Linoprints

 

Linoprinting is a relief block printing method akin to woodblock printing, the oldest printing method known.  Illustrations are hand carved into linoleum, hand inked and hand burnished onto sumi-e paper, a Japanese-style paper made from various plant fibers including mulberry (kozo), bamboo, or rice fibers.  Hand pressing each piece insures that no two prints will be exactly the same.

​

Background colors are applied using giclée printing, an inkjet printing method that  provides a museum-quality, high-resolution result.  The linocut is overprinted by hand resulting in an authentic, multi-color presentation.
