At Chicken Hill we hand-pull limited edition varied prints on a Conrad combination press. Currently the prints are linoleum blocks, often reduction prints.
What are reduction linoleum prints?
Reduction is a method of printing where the image and all color layers are printed from one single linoleum block. Lino is removed from the block for each layer then each color is printed on top of the last. Planning ahead is critical as there is no going back. Colors are typically printed light to dark, and color variations can occur with transparent inks blending to create secondary colors.
