If you wish, I can send you a video clip of how to lay the paper...
pictures worth a 1000 word - eh.
It is from the 1 hour Moku Hanga video. Please give me a few days as I
would have to edit it down to fit in an e-mail.

I like the very large Maru-Bake Professional Brushes as posted on the
Baren.
They come from www.woodlike.co.jp/index_en_frame.html
Expensive yes... but they will last a life time and do not require any
priming and shaping to be most effective, so are ready to go.

The 182 mm or maybe the 152 mm depending on the area of the plate to
be inked.
If there is large expansive areas and maybe a bokashi then the biggest
brush would be the one
If it is small ink areas the biggest brush would not be needed.
A whole lot of medium size areas could be done with a medium size...
say 137mm
and smaller ink areas could be done with a 122 mm brushes etc etc etc...
I am sure you get the idea.

According to the Baren Mall....
Azusa
990 x 680 = 39 x 27
K 40% / P 60%
Hot plate dried
9 ------- this is momme (weight) and is reasonable for the
process of lift sheet.
Smooth surface, easy to print
7.77 (Price)

I have printed paper close to this size using the lift sheet.

I have another method that is a simple elevated jig that is easier to
operate but needs
someone with simple woodworking tools to make it. If you want to see
he plans
and information for this I can get it to you. If I understand Sharri
LaPierre explanation
it should be just the rig.

Regards
Graham

Dear Kristine, grateful for your informative post on Easy-to-Cut Lino" - made in the USA by
Jack Richeson and Co Inc. as I am looking for an easy medium to cut and
learn on my way to woodblock.

Have you printed from it with water and oil based inks? If so, which in your opinion worked
better? Also can you recommend an economical paper to print this on? I welcome
your response.

Audley Sue Wing.

this got me thinking that it might be fun to someday have a moku-hanga
exchange where people would sign up as the designer, carver, or
printer then three person teams would create the print together.

Kristina, you could try gluing the e-t-c lino to pieces of scrap mat-board,
using gel acrylic medium. Just be sure to apply it to both connecting pieces of
material and after it is dried, apply a good coating or two to the mat-board so
it is made water resistant for water clean-up!

I've used this method for thin vinyl printing material and it works well.

Regarding large print:light weight paper

Lynita Shimizu, Sharri LaPierre, and Mike:

Thanks for the ideas on handling light weight paper. I have used it alot, and laying it down to registration has been hard.
I am going to indcorporate them.

I am having trouble with the cold, living in new to me house with many leaks on top a windy hill! and something seems to be interfering with my internet connection. this is the first time I have been able to stay on line long enought to check posts, so anyone waiting for replies from me : I am trying, you will hear fom me soon.
thanks
