Sample text

Cloth tends to fill in fine lines or smudge them together. It can be tricky to print a relief block by hand on a T-shirt. Stuff the shirt with smooth or corrugated cardboard covered with smooth paper (so the ridges don’t interfere with printing). Ink up the block generously, lay it face down on the T-shirt, and lean heavily on all areas of the back of the block. Use all your weight so you apply enough pressure to offset the ink onto the shirt. Peel up the block and let the shirt dry overnight. After it is dry, you can help set the ink permanently by ironing the shirt from the back.

Start in the middle and gently spread the paper out toward the sides. indd 30 12/11/12 9:08 AM 11/22/12 4:53 PM (Text) (RAY) (Fogra 39) Job:11-29713 Title:MBI-How to Create Your own Gig Posters 11-C68280 #175 Dtp:204 Page:30 Rub the back of the paper firmly in small circular motions. You’ll know you’re rubbing hard enough when your hands become warm from the friction. You will start to see the image appear through the back of the paper. Test prints are called proofs. The term “proofreading” comes from this checking of the first test prints for typos and other errors.

If you used water-based ink, rinse off your linoleum and roller with warm water. If you used oil-based ink, put on gloves, open a window or go outside, and use a solvent on paper towels or a rag. Clean the ink off the linoleum, palette, spatula, and roller. Dispose of solventsoaked rags properly; most shops use a metal can or a bucket with a tight-fitting lid so fumes don’t build up in the work area. Use of a good mechanic’s soap, such as Gojo, is always helpful in the final cleaning of your hands.
