Playing around with relief printing

These three relief prints were nothing more than experiments. The plates were created with a material called Sintra that was white and 3mm thick and quite smooth. It could be scored and broken into sections. I used linoleum cutting tools to produced the lines. It was not as easy to work with compared to traditional linoleum or other relief printing materials. The runs on the prints were very small and I never did much with them.

With most of these I used an 1/8 inch thick felt blanket and rolling pin to press the damp paper against the inked plates

I still have a few prints lingering around in a storage box.

A not very successful clean print but a nice solid black.

Yellow, black, and white inks.
