Ah, the chaos that is the printmakers studio. 😂

Nice tips ! I've heard of sanding a block but not razoring one that looked spiffy!

Thanks! This helped a lot! Seriously, I've been printing for two years now and this video is a life changer. Fixative on the block.. I can't believe I never thought of that!! Also, shaving the block! Wooow and then the powder for cleaning. Incredible. All of these tips are so good

Awesome tips ! Thanks !

Great video, thank you for the tips! Are you supposed to fixative or varnish the prints to seal the ink after drying? I haven't tried out more than one type of ink yet (water based) but I can smudge my prints after like 2 month but can't find any info on this topic :(

Hmmm, that sounds uncharacteristic of water based ink. usually it should be dry a week, if not a few days. It sounds like too much ink on the paper. After you print you can try laying a piece of newsprint or copy paper over the fresh print and apply pressure with your hands to blot off excess ink.

What tools do you use to carve with? 5:06

I use Pfeil palm carving tools. In that shot on the table behind me is the "PFEIL "Swiss Made" Palm Set B, 6 Pieces"
