The perfect lino cutting tool set

The set comprises five lino cutting tools, which are perfect for cutting lino printing motifs.

The set consists of:

• 1 beech wood shaft
• 1 wooden blade ejector tool
• 5 lino cutting blades (0.6 mm thick) with different profiles: 1 V-shaped blade, 1 U-shaped blade, 1 U-shaped blade (3 mm wide), 1 U-shaped blade (4 mm wide) and 1 sharp knife blade.

The lino cutting blades are easy to mount on the wooden shaft:

• Insert the end of the blade into the wooden shaft. Insert the ejector tool down inside the shaft and apply a little pressure. The blade now sits firmly inside the shaft.
• To remove the blade, insert the ejector tool and pull the blade out. Lino cutting blades should be sharp. Be sure always to cut away from yourself.

How to do lino printing

• Draw up your motif up with a pencil on a lino printing block.
• Either cut your lines or cut contours (i.e. the surface around the lines). Use a lino cutting tool. It’s always a good idea to use a cutting board. Always cut away from yourself. The blade should be sharp. Adult supervision is recommended when children use lino cutting tools.
• Using a lino roller, roll a thin and even layer of lino printing ink onto a clean paint tray. Transfer the ink by rolling over the surface of the lino printing block. Roll backwards and forwards and in different directions until the lino printing block is completely covered with ink.
• Lay a sheet of paper, PAP FAB or fabric over the lino printing block. Then lay a sheet of protective cardboard or card on the top. Using a clean lino roller, roll backwards and forwards over the protective cardboard. Change direction. Make sure you roll from edge to edge so the ink is evenly distributed.
• Remove the protective cardboard. Carefully lift the print paper/fabric and leave to dry. Your motif is done.
• Clean the lino roller in lukewarm water. Dry carefully.
