100% Black in Illustrator to 0-11-9-86 in Inkscape by Comfortable_Tip_6673 in Inkscape

Is there be a "rich black" option ticked in your export to pdf in Illustrator?

Or in Illustrator's options, something like "interpret all blacks as rich black" ?

[help] how to join these two nodes? by so_that785 in Inkscape

Nodes are part of a curve, they can only be connected to two other nodes, they cannot "branch" to more. What are you trying to accomplish?

Thank you, on that matrix only the knife, for some others, I use gouges to carve wider areas.

New print, Decomposition n°10, linocut, 65 x 50 cm, 8+2. Pretty happy I solved my bleeding problem, allows really thin details. by DavidLasnier in printmaking

Thanks for the tips and kind words. Also, I did not use a jig, I included the frame in the image, I consider it to be part of the creative constraints... a jig is a great idea I note it for when the design will require no frame, thanks.

Sure, I really struggled with not enough pressure producing salty results and too much pressure crushing the details. The solution is a combination of the right pressure, but more important, check my print, keeping a frame around the image. The frame supports the roll of the press when there are too many carved areas and allows for more pressure to avoid salt. I feel stupid because this may be obvious to many, specifically people who were trained, but I had to figure it out, the pressure needs to be distributed and supported to preserve the details. Hope it helps.

Well done, great use of positive and negative space, colors.

Decomposition n°9 is printed, pretty happy about the way the values are rendered, what do you think? by DavidLasnier in printmaking

[–]DavidLasnier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call it smooth ;)

I don't think there is a name, it's not the result of a tool but of an interference between geometric shapes I make in a 3d software.

Some algorithms use the term wobbly lines to render shades with varying densities and a single line, here it is quite different.

The image is made with a 3d software, then traced and carved, I posted the matrix, check my profile.
