REDUCTION PRINT PROCESS
Reduction print is basically using the mono colour ones that we have already done and do more to the original lino and print with another layer of colour ON TOP of the original ones. Note that this processs can occur for a number of colours, going from lightest to darkest. We have done black as the second 9 and therefore final) layer for this image. As it is the overlaying process the positioning of the prints are important. having said that if they are slightly offset they also often become more interesting.
1. Note the previous print's ink has to be dry first.
2. Gauge out additional area, note that area that you gauge out now will have the colours of the previous ( in this case, red) colour, white remains white, and whatever you don't touch becomes the new colour ( black in this case)
3. Roll a layer of a different colour ( black) on and press on as before.
