Thank you Neil.
This was a personal appeal of mine. To open a Forum for printing. Many of the tools, materials and puzzles are very little different from (shallow) relief carving. I have been wood carving, both relief and 'in the round' for some years.
I found what looked like effective websites but the most recent updates were 2005/6/7. Maybe printers are too busy?
I intend to learn and do wood cut printing, lots of it. I'll post everything I do, good, bad or indifferent. In northern Canada, the native Inuit have defined stone cut printing for the world. I have been polishing soft stone slabs for several months, doing a little carving and printing is planned for my winter (Nov. - Apr.)
I did my first print "The Ookpik Project"/ 4/2011, it's here, somewhere. I got some help and inks from the local high school art teacher. Otherwise, I know DIDDLY-SQUAT about what I'm doing.
So. We have inks, materials, tools and major equipments for those of affluence.
