Why is my lino print patchy?

Inking up your newly carved lino block is harder than it looks, and a badly inked block can lead to a patchy print if under-inked, or loss of detail if you over-ink and flood the design. Getting just the right amount of ink takes a little bit of practice and you may need to do a few test prints until you get it right.

Hi there. Thanks for your advice. My son had the same question, so now I know how I can help him. As for the kit, my son has this lino printing kit. I bought it as a Christmas present for him. Actually, he was really happy about it. They’re currently studying graphic design at school. He wants to impress his teacher with a great work of art, so I hope he’ll accomplish it. Actually, he says he likes cutting more than printing. He doesn’t like working with inks, but he still has to. Anyway, best wishes to you.
