Print taken from an incised linoleum tile using the planographic printing method.

A printed image produced by cutting a design into the surface of a linoleum block, then adding ink, and transferring the image to paper by pressure.

a print made from a linocut

a design carved in relief into a block of linoleum

An image cut into the surface of linoleum, usually, mounted on a block of wood. The surface is then inked, wiped, and the image transferred to paper by pressure.

is a printing process in where the design is transferred to the surface of a linoleum covered wood block and then the linoleum is carved. The negative areas of the do not transfer ink during the imaging process.

A relief print made from a piece of linoleum that has been scored or gauged to create an image.

Printing technique in which the printing surface has been carved from a block of linoleum.

A type of relief printing used from the 20th century. The artist cuts into a plate of linoleum to produce the image. Everything except the image is cut away so the image stands in relief. Finally, the plate is inked and printed. Detail is very difficult with this method and it is difficult to depict texture so flat areas of colour are produced. Skillfully used, this can produce dramatic effects.

A type of print, introduced at the beginning of the 20th century, which is produced from a thick piece of linoleum. An offshoot of woodcuts, linocuts are relatively easier to work with, as the softer and more even surface of linoleum is easier to cut and control than wood. A technique commonly taught in art schools, artists such as Matisse and Picasso, also created famous works with its application.

a relief print technique where an image is cut into wood blocks covered with a layer of linoleum. the blocks are then inked and printed, by hand or in a press, onto paper. although linocut does not yield the fine details of wood engraving, the lines are easier to incise into linoleum, which allows the artist more freedom of expression. linocut prints are usually characterized by flat, clearly delineated areas of color. also called linoleum cut.

A relief print, much like a woodcut, but using linoleum rather than a woodblock. The linoleum is somewhat easier to cut and prints more uniformly because it lacks the grain of the wood.

A process in which an image is cut in relief on a linoleum block.

A technique of printmaking in which an image is transferred to paper from a carved piece of linoleum. After carving the image, the artist applies oil-based inks to the surface of the linoleum, which is then pressed onto a piece of paper.

A relief printing process in which the image is carved in linoleum mounted on a block.

An image created on a linoleum block by gouging out the non-image areas with a knife or special cutting tool.

is printed from linoleum, usually backed with wood for reinforcement. The printed surface has less texture than in a woodcut because of the supple nature of linoleum. The material takes all types of lines, but is most suited to large designs with contrasting tints.

A relief print process similar to woodcut. Wood blocks covered with a layer of linoleum are carved with woodcut tools, coated with ink and printed by hand or in a press.

Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for the relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The cut areas can then be pulled from the backing.
