We use the copper left over when cutting etching plates to size for registration (considerably longer-lasting than masking tape but not the sort of thing you have lying around at home) - how about trying something hard at the edges - for example linp-tile strips stuck down with double-sided tape. I'm writing an article for CQ magazine about lino-printing (after 24 sessions of a part-time printmaking course (not all of it lino) I'm finally beginning to learn a few tricks of the trade! I'm amazed at how good yours look (surely you can't be a beginner?)Sandra Wymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513871393590385611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253979430294677846.post-70999935520460775242010-02-06T19:26:37.982+00:002010-02-06T19:26:37.982+00:00Wonderful prints!

What kind of press ...I like the double hand print. What kind of press are you using? Rollers are a pain for pushing plates out of alignment. We used to make corners built up out of masking tape to contain the plates when etching, which should work for a linocut block. But beyond 3 plates, the paper was too stretched to register another plate. We had a Victorian letterpress in the studio which was better for registration, tho too heavy for me to use.Susan Briscoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478005503421741631noreply@blogger.com
