Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Difference Between Linocut and Woodcut?

Linocut uses linoleum, which is softer and easier to carve. Woodcut uses wood, which is harder and allows for finer details. We recommend linocut for beginners.

What Paints Are Best for Linocut?

Water-soluble printmaking paints are ideal for beginners. They’re easy to clean up and dry quickly. Oil-based printmaking paints offer richer shades.

Do I Need a Printing Press?

No, hand pressure is enough for linocut. You can use a spoon or a special baren. A press improves consistency, but isn’t essential.
