Very helpful and detailed. It’s my first time attempting a reduction print and your tutorial helped me feel ready.

[@jayitsme5306]

These tutorials are really good, nicely paced , straight forward and your voice is clear and enjoyable to listen to. Thank you

[@Handprinteduk]

Thanks Jay!

[@gayedavies2797]

I enjoyed listening as you speak slowly and clearly. I am a teacher and I know how important it is to pace new skills, show and explain each step by step. The other videos I have seen by you tubers, pack too much in. Now I see how you reveal new colours by taking out the previous colours. I couldn’t work it out and now I know. I want to do a face in the same way, so it will be a lot easier, as I see I need to take each colour out and print over from light to dark.

[@Handprinteduk]

Thank you, that's so kind of you to say. I come from a family of teachers so I must have learned something from them!

[@mallbratgirl_3005]

wow! at first i was thinking ‘hm that candle drawing looks a bit simple’ and then the result absolutely stunned me!

[@IronEarthDesigns]

Thanks for the information. You were very clear, and slow enough to make this process makes sense. I also like the fact that you picked a really simple image to demonstrate this process. Thank you.

[@maiaberger-smith2736]

Enjoyable video and nicely explained process.

Just whst I needed as a new printer 😊

[@steffd8822]

Awesome! Even as simple as your design is, the layers just make it turn out beautifully! I'm only a year into block printing so this is still waaaay down the road, maybe if even. Something fun to look forward to!

[@Handprinteduk]

It's easier than it looks! Have a go when you feel ready :)

Thank you!

[@user-ds7nn9ld1s]

Hello, thanks for the great video. Do you have to let the lino dry before reapplying ink?

[@gracesimplified3860]

🤩

[@mhd5826]

Fantastic! And from such a simple design, thankyou! Could you tell me the name of the registration set up you mentioned please? I could only catch....pins and tabs... lol

[@Handprinteduk]

They're called Ternes Burton pins and tabs: handprinted.co.uk/products/ternes-burton-registration-pins-pair?_pos=4&_sid=83f181156&_ss=r

[@harlem4039]

👍👍👍👍👋☺

[@jemm7337]

How long should you wait before printing another colour on top?

[@Handprinteduk]

The ink underneath should be dry ideally. With water-based inks this just takes 20 minutes or so, depending on the thickness of ink and the temperature. With oil-based inks this takes a few days or even a week or two.

[@valguilbert4925]

Can you use acrylic paint.

[@Handprinteduk]

Acrylic paint isn’t suitable for printing lino cuts. It will dry fast and stick to your plate, it will also not roll out as smooth as a block printing ink.

[@valguilbert4925]

Can you print straight onto cards

[@Handprinteduk]

You can, but cards tend to be quite stiff so it can be tricky to get a good print.

[@NursePhyllis]

8:41 I am going to try a version of this…is that wrong. Seems beginner friendly. Is that wrong? I will let you know how my version comes out. @zenbreeze
