Description

linoleum for engraving
Linoleum material suitable for engraving, brown in color with brushed support mesh
Characteristic of modern relief printing is the use of alternative materials to wood to create the printing matrices; the most used is linoleum. Made by mixing together linseed oil, cork powder and Greek pitch spread on a jute trellis, linoleum has a smooth, compact surface that can be easily engraved with gouges. The engraving technique is no different from woodcut and the appearance of the prints is also the same; linoleum is easier to work with than wood, as it has no grain and is relatively plastic; It adapts to a spontaneous and cursive drawing. Patented by F. Walton in 1863, this material was used to make matrices for relief printing from the early years of this century. They engraved on linoleum, among others. Kandinsky and some Expressionists. The ease of linocut engraving fascinated Matisse, who used the technique in the simplest terms possible, with a series of prints based on the pure white line on black, while Picasso linked his name to linoleum thanks to many color prints recorded between 1958 and 1964. In Italy, especially M. Maccari made extensive use of linoleum. Of particular interest is the evolution of engraving on linoleum which developed in Poland after the Second World War, aimed at analytical research on the constructive elements of graphic language (Grabowski, Starczewski ) together sometimes with evocations of a surrealist or metaphysical nature (Gielniak, Fijalkowski). The printing of woodcut and linocut: The inking and printing process is identical for both types of engraving: woodcut and linocut. With a gelatin roller or leather, spread a little typographical ink on the tablet, taking care to distribute it evenly and in such a quantity as not to let it overflow from the lines engraved in relief, thus trying not to dirty the spared whites. Then spread a sheet of paper on the matrix previously slightly moistened and made to adhere by rubbing repeatedly with a bone splint or a spoon, being careful not to move the sheet. Mechanical printing is instead entrusted to a screw press operated by arms (a tool used since the beginning of woodcut printing and typographical) which compresses the paper on the wood with planar pressure.
