Thank you for your comment. We had some fish drama at Christmas and a few losses, so hubby had to figure out what killed them! Having a tank in a small space is not easy to manage. However he has learnt a lot and is now in the process of moving the fish in a bigger tank he bought second hand via Gumtree. Once that's populated with fish I will film another video of that. Sadly big Dave , our last remaining rainbow trout died last week and he got a proper burial. He was part of his Aquaponics system. The trout wee rescues.
great video can i ask what kind of ink you prefer for your press. and what was that that you attached your paper to before printing i liked it thanks for showing
Thank you for your comment. I am only using Caligo safewash as it's oil based and has a longer open time -so you can make lots of prints without it drying quickly on the surface. It is also easy to clean up (no solvents needed). When I started I used water based inks, but they dry too quickly - they are useful if you want to do a quick print though. I would recommend to try both and see what you prefer. Schmincke sells high quality waterbased ink. The paper is attached with Ternes Burton buttons to an acrylic sheet - this way it stays in place. I bought those and the matching tabs from Jackson's or Handprinted (can't remember) and the acrylic sheet from Ebay. Hope this helps. If you are interested I have created a beginner course for Lino printing which you can find here: payhip.com/b/VbWR1
That's very helpful; thank you Helena. I notice you have some little clips to stop the paper from moving. I've recently bought a Pookie Press and am just starting out in lino printing, having been a watercolourist for many years.
Hi Sally. Thank you for your comment. Those clips are Ternes Burton buttons with plastic tabs attached to the paper. They are sold in pairs in either metal (not sure, but it might be stainless steel) or recently I have seen a cheaper plastic version on the Handprinted website. They make it much easier print , especially if you have to re-ink. I am currently spending time learning to paint with watercolour. It's fun and always surprising to see the results. If you want to learn in more detail how to carve and print lino blocks, check out my website. I have created a beginner's course of lino printing.
Hi Carole. I checked Pooki Presses website and the description says that it's made from recycled fibre materials. I bought it separately and you can buy it in different sizes.
No sé si el rodillo es de goma blanda se ve muy dura, eso también afecta y otra cosa que tampoco ayuda es que la mesa donde está la prensa se mueve hacia abajo cuando haces presión, necesitas una base firme que no se mueva con la presión
No se debe entintar sobre la tabla base de la prensa y los errores del entintado se corrigen en el próximo entintado cargando de más tinta las zonas en que les hizo falta, no en la misma estampa, por eso se sacan pruebas

great commentary and video! Thank you!
Hi Cathleen. Thank you for your comment. Filming this on a small table was quite a challenge, so I am glad you like it.
There is no way that press is worth that much, perhaps 100 pounds is right for what you get
Can I ask what the felt mat is you used?
