How are block prints made?
Relief Prints
Relief or block prints are printed from the inked surface of a block, usually carved wood or linoleum. Any cut-away lines or areas do not print. The ink is transferred to paper by rubbing the back of the sheet with a hand-held baren or by applying pressure with a printing press. Most collagraph plates – collages of objects and sculpture – are printed by relief.
