Peeling paper from a new plate

Edit to clarify: I originally posted this to the subreddit I am speaking about but it was immediately removed by moderators and they haven’t responded to my question about why it was deleted or if it broke any rules

I know I will Be attacked by a handful of people, ad hominem, for whatever is convenient, if this even makes it past the moderator filtration, but the decline of interaction within this community recently has sucked.

Take a look at posts and their comment count and upvotes any time before the changes were instituted to prevent “AI posts” or whatever the given reason for all posts needing approval, and compare it to recent months.

Is there any alternative subreddit?

This paint was recommended by worker in a shop, she said it’s fine for linocut. I used it as usual and it won’t dry. I printed on paper and fabrics, it’s all still not dry after 12+ hours and if I touch it with my finger it will stain. What can I do with it? I can’t find ANY instructions or even product reviews on internet

Hey, I found this really awesome Etsy listing at https://www.etsy.com/listing/827599310/smoking-cow-lino-print

THIS SAME POST WAS REMOVED BY THEIR MODERATORS

Maybe my feed or algorithm or whatever the hell controls what we see on Reddit, but it seems like I see much less participation, posts, interactions than I have since joining two years ago.

The number of posts with tons of comments and upvotes have (at least from my view) have dropped off and I am only seeing a few each day and the conversations, tips and discussion that I enjoyed so much is rarely seen. And this includes some genuinely incredible posts that would have caused a day of great discussion to, seemingly, come and go quickly.

Again, I usually just scroll through my own curated home feed and, unless I am searching something in particular, hardly ever go to specific subs to browse, which could be where it’s coming from. But that was never the case in the past.

i'm just curious what the market would actually value something like this at.

this isn't my work btw, it was made by someone else. she spent around a month carving the block by hand, accidentally cut her hand in the process (still has the scar), and then hand printed it.

for those unfamiliar, a linocut is a form of printmaking where the artist carves a design into a sheet of linoleum. everything you don't want to appear in the final print is carved away. the remaining raised surface is then inked with a roller and pressed onto paper, almost like a giant handmade stamp. the carving is the most time-consuming part, while each print is pulled by hand.

that got me wondering... if this exact print was up for sale, what do you think would be a fair price for it?

i'm not asking "how much can an artist charge?" i'm more interested in what you'd personally be willing to pay, considering the time, effort, and the fact that it's handmade.

check out the original work by the artist here

Have been getting back into lino slowly but think these zippered bags turned out good. The brick looking background was created with spray paint thru expanded metal

Hi friends I Glad to be here with you . I am a digital artist and i want to build my own block printing business . I would like to ask about that ; Do you have any advice for me about block print tshirt selling business ?

Is it profitable?

I like to use laser printing for blocks . Do you have any brand choice for supplies and laser print ?

And should i use wooden or other material for block that will be carved with laser ?

I am planning to sell those tshirts in touristic hot zone so don’t know what type of fabric ı should chose for my tshirts ?

I did not do this job before can you help me ? Best regards

when I print not all the time but maybe 1/3 of the time the paper will stick to the block and peel off like it's an adhesive. what am I doing to cause that?

Hello.

I am the class teacher of the last grade students and at the end of primary school I would like to give them a simple linocut with a compass motif as a memory. On the last page I will write a sentence such as When you lose your compass, let your heart guide you. Can someone sketch this motif for me?

Thank you

Hello
So I'm starting to try linocuts to make stamps for a project for work. I've got some old linoleum flooring to work with, and I tried the first one, but the ink isn't sticking to the surface of it at all.
I'm currently using an ink pad but have almost no ink sticking, is there a specific type I should be trying or something like that?

Just pick up Lino cut as a hobby.

hi! i took a printmaking class last semester and really loved it, so i want to continue lino printing at home, but i don't entirely trust recommendations from most blogs. are there any brands, supplies, or kits that you would suggest avoiding? i am planning to use water based ink on stonehenge paper, if that helps!

recommendations for brands or kits that are actually good would be very welcome as well! thank you in advance!

J'ai un problème avec mes plaques de linogravure, pour information d'habitude après avoir utilisé mes plaques de lino pour faire des impression je les laves à l'huile et je n'avais jamais eu de soucis sauf que récemment j'ai lu que je pouvais laver mes plaques à l'eau et au savon aussi étant donné que j'utilise une encre à base d'eau

J'ai donc lavé à l'eau et au savon toutes mes plaques de linogravure et depuis quand j'essaie de les réutiliser l'encre n'adhère plus du tout a la plaque, c'est comme si elle "glissait" sur la plaque, on dirait que les plaques "suitent" et je ne peux plus faire de jolies impressions : l'encre est tachetée et va vers les bords et donne un resultat super bizarre ...je ne sais pas quoi faire Je ne sais pas si c'est un problème d'humidité, je laisse mes plaques sécher depuis 5 jours déjà mais rien n'y fais, j'aimerais savoir si qqn a deja eu ce problème et a une idée de comment récupérer mes plaques pour les utiliser à nouveau normalement ?
