You can draw your design directly on the block or transfer it using tracing paper.Carve the Block: Use carving tools to carefully carve out your design on a linoleum block. Ensure that you carve away the areas that you do not want to be printed.Ink the Block: Apply block printing ink evenly onto the surface of your carved block. You can use a brayer (roller) to ensure a smooth and even layer of ink.Prepare the Paper: Cut the Speedball paper to the desired size if needed. The paper is thin and lightweight, so handle it with care to avoid tearing.Position the Paper: Carefully place the paper over the inked block. Ensure that it is aligned correctly if you are aiming for precise placement.Transfer the Image: Use a baren to gently but firmly press the paper onto the block. Start from the center and work your way outward to avoid air bubbles and ensure even ink transfer.Lift the Paper: Gently peel the paper away from the block. Be careful not to smudge the print. Allow the print to dry completely on a flat surface.Clean Up: Clean your block and tools immediately after printing to prevent the ink from drying and becoming difficult to remove.
