I’m a newcomer to Lino printing and at times have felt frustrated and demoralised by “ failure “ when that happens I move away from the ink and immerse myself in something else( music) I then find I’m missing printing and return refreshed..don’t give in, your prints are cool we deserve to see more 🙂

Wow, I get intimidated by the Lino if I venture around the expansiveness of A4 🙂

If you want to get ahead get a hat…as my Dad used to say 👌🏻

I can empathise totally with that, for me I have to really plan ahead and I write myself a printing “script” for every layer carve and ink up

Having read your bread related incident are you sure you should be handling a needle that big 😉

That’s interesting because the English Electric company who built these Class 40’s famously based them on American locos of the late 50’s and despite pressure to innovate from British Rail they steadfastly stayed with the design.

Good point Laura, I have found that Sharpie ink does transfer with Safewash which is the ink I’m slowly migrating towards 👍🏻

Thanks Laura I’ll give it a go, one more thing, what do you stain your block with?

To be honest, as a retired architect I’m really enjoying getting to design buildings that were never part of my practice and doing so using old school pen and ink while my CAD computer glares down at me disapprovingly 🙂

I love Mandy’s work, painting concrete on real concrete is inspired.

Hi Laura,that’s really interesting,I’m relatively new to Lino printing and so far I’ve worked only in reduction, I usually ink over my carbon lines with a Sharpie, so could I avoid this by simply letting the carbon transfer set as it were ?

For me it’s a case of how much does it matter if the registration is slightly out, I’ve gravitated towards reduction printing because for most of my work it’s not critical,plus of course it’s more economical in Lino use, I’m new to this so still learning and planning to try a multi-block next.

We found a picture of him at the end of his last shift on D213 and then last year we discovered it’s still running as a heritage loco and the company that look after it arranged for my Son and I to recreate the picture when it returned from a tour to Scotland

Hi, I’m working on an edition of Lino prints of diesel locos from my local heritage railway in West Yorkshire, they are all reduction prints

It's strange,I'm relatively new to Lino printing but from the outset I've been a reductionist, it can get infuriating at times but I find pre-planning and writing a printing "script" gets me through, the odd thing is that I find the accuracy required in registration of multi blocks intimidating 😀

Looks wonderful, is it a reduction or multi-block?

To be honest the cover is the best thing about it, not much content for a train fan 😕
