John,
I forgot one very important thing, when you ink your block, use lots of thin layers of ink...three thin layers on the block will give you a much better print than one thick layer. The roller needs to be half way between dry and sticky, the ink on the slab should look like close cut velvet. If you can hear is sticking you have too much ink. You should barely be able to hear "swish, swish, swish" when you roll it out, not "splat,splat,splat". if you are using a roller that is smaller than your block, ink from the center to the edge.
Best of luck
Barbara
