Reduction Lino with Laura Ep 18 , No Press Registration Device for Table Top Printing - Our registration device for perfectly aligned prints every time. How it works and some of the tricks and hacks you can employ to get the most out of it. Our registration Devices come in two types: for hand printing or for use in a press. Standard devices will print lino up to A4 size and we can make bespoke sizes to order. They are available at my website: http://www.lauraboswell.co.uk/shop.php

Transferring a Lino Block by Offsetting for Multiblock Printing - A simple method for transferring a linocut key block design onto multiple blocks. The transfer is not quite as clean as some of the transfer methods using digital printouts and chemicals, but my method serves the dual purpose of transferring the image and positioning it in the correct place to line the blocks up correctly in the finished print (plus there’s no need for faffing with a computer, extra chemicals etc 🙂)

Multi block Lino Print with Laura: Episode 4 I Adapt My Registration Device for Accurate Multiblock - In this video I adapt one of our relief printing registration devices to accept smaller paper sizes (if you use another registration method, this video probably isn’t one for you - but we’ll be back to more general advice in the next one!). In this series I am planning to use Awagami Factory’s sample pack of editioning papers which are too small to fit our standard frame. This work-around fixes that and opens up the possibility of using a wide range of paper stocks.

How to recyle and reuse a backing board with your lino - linocut printing tips - You can buy our registration device for perfectly aligned multi-block or reduction linocut printing here https://www.lauraboswell.co.uk/shop.php - if you are new to the channel, there is a playlist of films about using the registration device. We sell press or hand printing versions and can make special orders to your desired dimensions.

The device comes with one MDF insert included. I am using packing tape (brown or clear will work) and a carpet tile adhesive. You need a glue that will bond to plastic as well as the lino. the lino is traditional artist's lino with the jute backing.
