Basic Prints (Monochrome)
These are my first prints. They helped develop the basic skills needed for lino printing.
This print has many areas with insufficient ink. Also, the print is inconsistent (top right and middle okay, but the rest is not done well)
Plastic Handled Roller
Water Based Ink
Lino Ink Down
Large Wooden Spoon
Newsprint
Inconsistent pressure as well as badly applied ink.
The tool could be effective if used properly

Not enough pressure overall. Especially on the left side.
The bottom right part has a defect. Most likely a lino piece sticking up.

White patvches throughout. Inconsistent pressure placement, especially top of lino and the center few dots. Other than that it is quote good compared to the others

Not enough pressure overall. Especially on the sides. There are many spots without ink on the sides.
I dont really like ink face up, as too much pressure on the negative space can ruin the print (shift it)
This is my best blue ink print. Overall it is quite consistent apart from the bottom right edge.

This is my best purple print. It is the most consistent and with the least gain.
The right edge is a bit under-pressured but it is small compared to the failed parts of other prints.
