How to Transfer Inkjet Prints to Linoleum for Linocut | Digital Artwork Reference for Printmaking
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- Let‘s see if we really can‘t use our inkjet printer for artwork we want to transfer to a piece of linoleum as a reference for linocutting. I try Modpdge, craft glue, regular woodglue and waterproof woodglue. Modpodge did work best and made the most-lasting transfer but the waterproof woodglue gave also usable results.

Thank you for taking the time to do all these tests and for sharing! Now I won't have to run to the copy center for laser prints :D You have the patience of a saint! 😃
haha, maybe I have just cut out all the angry stomping, cursing and crying ... ✌️
Glad it was of help!
Thanks for going through all that pain for us! Great trick to use! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Hehe, thank you! It was for a good cause ✌️
Wow! That was a lot of hard work! Thank you so much for doing all of that, going into that level of detail, and sharing the process and the results with all of us.
Hey Ariana, thanks for the nice words! Glad if it helps! ✌️
Thank you so much for experimenting with all the materials and processes and for sharing! Now I have a much better chance of being successful at transferring.
Good luck! if you are not as impatient as I was, then best just let it dry overnight to be on the save side
How we suffer for our craft. Great video. Thank you.
Sometimes we have to I guess ... Thank you!
This is brilliant, thank you so much for this!
thank you! ✌️
Thank you so much! This was super helpful!
Thanks, glad it helped!
Super Interesant :)! Ich glaub' meine Hände hätten nach einmal Papier abrubbeln bereits das Handtuch geschmissen.
Hehe! Wenn ich jetzt nicht gerade das Video aufgenommen hätte, hätte ich es bestimmt auch bei dem ersten halbwegs brauchbaren Versuch belassen ...
Thank you.
✌️
Appreciate the time and effort of doing the comparison! I have attempted the modpodge transfer and it worked great. I noticed that I sometimes inadvertently peeled away the modpodge layer that holds the ink in spots during carving. Now that it is time for printing, I'm wondering if I should try to remove the modpodge layer as there may be rough spots. I have no idea what to use as my research led me to acetone, but that this may damage the lino. Any ideas?
Yes, I should make a follow up video sometime. I have noticed the same thing so what I did was give it a light sanding with a fine sandpaper. Then you need to make sure you get all the dust out of the fine lines of your carving. That worked and I was able to print nicely with the block. But then after printing I went to clean the lino block - what I usually just do with warm/hot water in the sink. After some light rubbing with my hands I noticed the Modpodge/Ink layer starting to peel of. So now this is what I always do before printing: Just using warm water (I let it pour directly on the linoleum) soak in a bit and then quite easily rub of the whole transfer layer. Only downside to this is that you need to wait and properly dry the block before you can start printing. (I use paper towels around the lino and a few big books so it dries staight)
You could also use Acetone as I already used that directly on the lino for another transfer method (You see it in I think the „memento mori“ print video).
But its a harsch chemical substance so I would suggest to the simple warm water method first.
If you posta picture of your final print somewhere then make sure to send a link! ✌️
@@eastofawesome May I add; don't use acetone in the sink of bath!
There's a strong posibility it will destroy the enamel, stone, porcelain etc.
good point!
Thank you for showing all of your process, not just the successful part
Haha, your welcome. Sometimes it helps to see where someone went wrong I guess. ✌️
Hi! I used the acrylic method with a laser jet print, but when I used my carved block to print the thin layer of acrylic effects the way the ink applies and transfers to the paper. Do you have any ideas? I had to sand the entire block down, removing the transferred lines completely - which caused major issues as my design was planned as a reduction! Any suggestions on how to help would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much for a great side by side comparison of transfer methods. I've been looking for more detailed transfer options but frankly any of these would seem to work. I curious about how much detail is needed to achieve a good result in carving?
Sorry to give that annoying answer, but ... it depends ... ✌️Depends on how detailed your artwork is in the first place AND how accurate you want to be when carving it. In this case I had a very detailed artwork where I had even planned little grain marks and I wanted to cut the Lino as close to the artwork as possible so I wanted a very detailed transfer.
But if you have a artwork with let's say rather bigger more graphical elements or if you are cool with a more creative carving style where you make some stuff up as you carve then a rougher transfer might be perfectly fine for you.
Thank you for the time you imparted to keep this art alive. 1 question what are you using to tint the plate?
I used to stain the Lino simply with deluted acrylic colors. Lately I switched to chinese ink-sticks when I saw that they are also available in colored versions. Thats what you see here in the video. The ink stick gets rubbed on a natural wet chinese stone and that's what sets the pigments free.
There are links to all the stuff in the video description above.
Hope that helps! ✌️
@@eastofawesome thank you for the very timely response
you are very welcome! Let me know what works out for you!
Enjoyed it very much but the music is overwhelming maybe turn it down a bit
Didn't realize that the music is so loud. Sadly you can't edit such things on existing videos. But I'll remember to check that for future videos. Thanks for letting me know! ✌️
Vielen Dank für dein Video die Aufkärung der unterschiedlichen Klebstoffe ist sehr Hilfreich ;) Kannst du mir als weiteren Tipp ev. sagen was du da zum Einstreichen der Linolplatte verwendest ab min 7:00? Liebe Grüsse weiter so :)
Das sind chinesische Tusche Blöcke die mit Wasser auf einem Naturstein gerieben werden. Links zu sowas hab ich in die Beschreibung gepackt. Alternativ hab ich aber auch schon mit einfacher verdünnter Acrylfarbe gute Erfahrungen gemacht. ✌️
@@eastofawesome perfekt danke für deine Hilfe :)
Nice blog you know you can use lodge lodge as a glaze
Thanks John! Is "lodge lodge" just a autocorrect from "mod podge"?
Try putting less glue, it will be easier to rub off the paper and not the print.
I know it's been 11 months, but Im wondering how the cut went, I did try this technique but when cutting it it didn't feel smooth. I got rigged lines and struggle to get a smooth cut.
you can see the cutting process in this video: ‚Vide Diem‘ Linocut Print: How to carve super detailed Artwork ( ua-cam.com/video/GQY8l0xjIX4/v-deo.html ). I did not notice any difference in the feel of the cut. Maybe there was still some paper left? or the Glue layer was thick? 🤷♂️
@@eastofawesome thank you for answering, really appreciate you!! Yeah, I believe that was the cause, the glue layer being too thick. Great videos btw, very inspiring and helpful! Much appreciated
I transfer my inkjet drawings to my lino with Bestine. I used to use blending markers, but they changed the formula so I switched to Bestine. The Smell isn't the best.
Thanks Scott, never heard of that one. Do you think it might be an upgrade to the modpotch process I showed here and I should give it a try?
Wouldn't matt or gloss gel medium work? Cheers!
Might work as it also has that glue/sealing thing going ... have none here but I'll let you know if I manage to give it a try. Or maybe you can try and let me know! ✌️
@@eastofawesome thank you for a reply, im still learning how to use the gelli plate, however, gel medium works when I use it on my gelli plate, but I haven't tried doing it your way, so I'll give it a go, I'm new to this form of art so I'm still experimenting and practising. Cheers!
I’ve used gloss medium for this and it works
an deinem Deutsch mussu aber noch arbeiten 😂
tjoa, wer nich, oder!? ✌️🙂
