The reason for the survival of relief printing over two thousand years is its versatility. You can use beautifully prepared block of a rare wood, but you can also rescue a piece of driftwood to cut into a wood block. You can also use the finest handmade paper to print on, but you can also print on quite ordinary paper. You do not need much equipment – a table to work on, the traditional wood carving chisel, plus one knife, a simple rubber roller and a wooden spoon to burnish the impression – it involves no great outlay to start a series of experiments in relief printmaking. Later you may well be intrigued with the possibilities and want to acquire a printing press, but remember that the ancient woodblock print were printed without a press, only by hand – burnishing.
Many materials other than wood are now used, giving a wide choice in both price and availability. People who are unable to use the solvents and chemicals essential and other printmaking methods (Oil Base) will find that relief prints can be made with non – toxic substances and the solvent can be water.
