Linocut, also known as
lino print,
lino printing, or
linoleum art, is a printmaking technique, a
variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes
mounted on a wooden block) is used for a relief surface. A design is cut
into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge,
with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror
image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a
roller (called a brayer) and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The
actual printing can be done by hand or with a printing press.
