Thanks Laura and Ben for this learning rich year that you generously shared. Top idea sharing your gizmos, they all come with a mini lesson of what is important to watch out for while cutting or printing. Wishing both of you a restful and healthy holiday season!
Thanks for the video , happy new year ! That’s a very nice utility knife you have there , I often use a dollar store utility knife lol has blades you break when dull , works great for cutting paper ! For one dollar you get the knife and spare blades.
I will also share a one tip with you - about how I store oil-based inks. On the days when I print (most often it is several days in a row), I keep the colors mixed and prepared for printing in porcelain bowls and I pour water overnight on it. Even during the day - when I don't use them at the moment. Pouring water over the oil inks allows you to keep them fresh for a few days - but not longer than a week. After a week of being in water, the ink interact with water and it starting to "drying". I suspect that a little amount of oxygen in the water is causing this. However, up to one week, the method works great. Merry Christmas to all :)
Thanks Laura and Ben for a lovely Christmas Eve present. Most of these great ideas I've seen before from you (but now reinforced and now bedded in, bless my short term memory!) Inspirational once again. Still cooking (in my mind) about the multi block reduction prints. Genius! All the best for Christmas and wishing you both and your families a very health, happy and prosperous new year . Hoping 2022 is a great one. xx (x and one for Doris)
Thank you very much Laura, and I hope you have a fine Christmas and a happy New Year. I got a tube-wringer for Christmas - the husband used it on the toothpaste this morning, not before all my inks had been sorted.
Merry Xmas Laura and Ben - your registration device was a brilliant Xmas present, looking forward to using it. And what better than a gizmo lost to go searching for. Could you point me in the right direction online for the white stackable pots please?
A year late, but only just saw your video. In old films westerns mainly, the printer always wore black sleeve protectors.
Some great ideas. Thank you!
The sleeve protectors are a revelation for me! Thanks a lot!!

Thanks Laura! I'll be getting a safety wash bottle and some of those ever-handy graphite sticks!
Dear Laura and Ben, to you, your family and friends, Merry Christmas and a "carving" New Year!
Thank you Laura for all your amazing videos. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and New Year and wish you all the very best for 2022.
This was brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

I hope you had a very merry Christmas. Thanks for the handy gadget tips, I really must get a tube wringer. Have a great new year!

I got mine in Bumpodo in Tokyo - but I’m sure you can find similar elsewhere (that’s why there’s no link 🙂)
