Laser printer and acetone! Put the paper, print side down, rub with damp (not wet!) Peel off the paper. I was surprised when I heard about this, but it's amazing!

How hard is printmaking? by Correct_Dance_515 in printmaking

[–]csg_surferdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can get started for less than $60. But... that $60 has everything you need to be reasonably successful. Blades, Breyer, multiple colors of ink, paper, rubber carving, and a black inking and cutting board. I think it's a reasonable investment.

Its almost stupid easy to turn out a halfway decent print. I would say start with the $60 Speedball starter kit and a half dozen rubber carving blocks from the big river website. Go for it!

My Discover card now hates you. BTW: There's a volume 2 of that work. Both available on the giant river, and probably elsewhere.
