How to easily transfer an image for printmaking: Linocut or Woodblock

Here I will show you how to make a transfer sheet or Hanshita. You can run this through your printer and glue it down for woodcut or linocut. You will need gampi paper, printer paper, spray adhesive, Nori Paste, a baren, a utility knife, and a ruler for this method.

Amazing work. What kind of wood you use?

[@stephenwiniecki]

Mostly American cherry, sometimes Shina plywood, and mountain cherry from Japan.

Thank you for your tutorial!
Where do you purchase the gampi paper? I haven’t been able to find a supplier in the US.
Also, do you use an inkjet or laser printer?
Appreciate your help 🙂

I buy it from David Bull In Japan @mokuhankan.com

Aki nem tud beszerezni GAMPI papírt , az mit használhat alternatív megoldást ?

I've seen people glue down regular printing paper and slowly peel the paper fibers from the block after the glue has dried. You can also trace your design and transfer the lines with graphite paper. They also sell inkjet transfer sheets from Mcclains in the states.
