r/printmaking

I have been working with using the photograph I took as basis for my linocut.

I have access to a laser cutter, so I decided to try making a woodblock as an experiment. I printed it with acrylic paint, and it worked much better than I expected! I really don't know what I'm doing, what should I do to get this printing a bit darker & more reliably? -my goal is to print on to t shirts & fabric.

Edit; Ok, that's pretty clear! I've got some retatarder and fabric medium for screenprinting, & I'll buy some oil based ink and do some more experements. Thanks for the replies :-)

Printing projects from this evening. I'm thinking about filling out the black light responsive shirt too.

I used speedball block fabric ink in black and cotton shirts. (The orange one was a 5xl shirt that I sewed into a dress)

“Alvar” – Linocut on Japanese washi paper, 64 × 97 cm. Inspired by the iconic Aalto vase. Edition of 4, each on a different washi … would love to hear your thoughts!

I am currently recreating in exact scale the Kollwitz Krieg Series, and have been studying the woodcuts from the German expressionists post WWI. This self portrait is an hommage to Kollwitz who created numerous self portraits, a few I have been lucky to visit and a collector of my work now owns one of her early copperplate etching prints of her 1910 self portrait. Mine is inspired by her post Krieg Series woodcut self portrait of 1924 and contains similar dimensions and use of negative space.

My husband attracted two breeding pairs of orioles to the household, and they are so beautiful I wanted to thank him with these tshirts. Oriole postage stamp woodcuts, on my favorite Gildan Dry-Blend tshirts, hand printed woodcut in cherry with Cranfield Caligo ink. I used a Kurosaki baren and a piece of silicone coated paper as a backing sheet for printing. I really want to thank the individuals who recommended the oil based relief or etching inks for use on fabrics- I’ve used Speedball fabric ink before today but it gives me terrible headaches.

Hi everyone thanks you all for up votes on previous posts I'm slowly starting to test print some of the linocuts I've lot of designs I have been working on. I also got a badge making machine from temu 😅 You'll notice in some pictures peace symbol with celtic design first one made was way off center lol.

The last picture just had to make it one of the most iconic bad guys Peter Cushing had run in with these guys few times lol

I got home from the art store and realized that this doesn't specify if it's for fabric or paper. Just says what blocks it's good to be used on. I'm hoping to see if anyone knows so I don't waste my time with a test print on fabric

Edit: Thank u everyone this saved me from opening it to do a test print then not being able to go get it exchanged or refunded tomorrow

A garden party with pewter ink on toned tan paper.

Definitely still a beginner but I worked really hard on this project!! Any tips appreciated!

Easy carve and speedball water based ink.

My first go at making some mini prints. Super fun to carve these tiny ones!

I’m a high school art teacher and I came up with a little challenge for myself and my students to spend 5, 10, 30, and 60 minutes carving a small image. Here are my results.

1/3 designs I created for one of my final projects at university. Linocut prints in the style of medieval woodcuts.

I make linoprints each week for my yoga students & turn them into a meditation card. I don’t want to put them in an acetate sleeve, but wonder if there’s a recommended way to finish them (fixative,wax, etc.).

Currently using Speedball water based ink with retarder, but planning to move to Caligo ink when I finish the tube.

I appreciate any insight. TIA 😊
