What is Linocut ? What is Linocut?Linocut is a printmaking technique that is created using woodcut which a sheet of linoleum is placed on the surface. The design is made by cutting into the linoleum surface with a chisel or sharp V-shaped knife. The uncareved areas represent the mirror image of the parts to show the print. Then the cut areas can be pulled from the back to create different looks or designs. The linoleum is impressed using an ink roller onto the paper. This can be done by hand or with a press.

More steps to Linocut Step 3. Place paper carefully over linocut because once you place it onto the paper it will be permanent. Step 4. You can either use a printing press or you can slowly take the paper off . The printing press makes it easier and the color darker. I prefer the printing press because you do not have to worry about the color being to light or messing up the paper.
